Working Bibliography
ENG 102 Guides

The Working/Annotated Bibliography is a list of all of the sources (a minimum of 15) you have been working with this semester. 
 
"Working" because you are still working with them and considering their usefullnes; "Annotated" because you need to write your evaluation into a short paragraph about each source.
 
Below is a model of what your bib should look like.  It should be in proper MLA format for the sources, and then the annotation should line up with the hanging indent.

Working/Annotated Bibliography

Blackwell, M. R.  "Tasteless Laces." Cyberlace. Jan. 2006.  <http://www.knotco.edu/cyberlace/home.html>.

            This article gave me a lot of information about an area I hadn’t really thought about.  There is a lot of discussion in the world of shoes about the problem with laces. I won’t really be able to use this article, though.  The magazine it is published in online is not very credible or thought of well in the industry.

Dylan, Robert. "Lace, Lady, Lace." Hibbing Herald 4 Feb. 1968. Newsbank. NewsBank. Glendale Community College Library Media Center, Glendale, AZ. 22 Jul. 2006.

            This really wasn’t very helpful for my paper.  It is just a poem about laces written a long time ago.  I read it just for interest to see if I could use it for the attention getter, but I don’t think I will use it anymore.

"Earth Shoes Unearthed in Inca Ruins." Time 23 July 1977: 36.

            This is the source I used for my first paper.  It is interesting and gave me a really good sense of the history of shoes.  I will probably be able to use it in the introduction of my paper as part of the history.

The Working/Annotated Bib is really the first chance you have this session to consider the Big One.  You should begin with this project to think about the information you have gathered and about what to do with it.
 
NOTE:  Remeber that the annotation is not something you keep after this project is complete.  When you move from the Bib to the Big One, be sure to take the annotation back out!
