FOR ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHIC WORKS CITED ENTRY, YOU HAVE A FOUR-FOLD TASK for each source:

(1) Write Work Cited in MLA format.

(2) Annotate your source: Describe your source or write a note for this source briefly.

e.g. I spoke to my aunt who told me a similar experience as the narrative in Anne Lamott’s “Hunger.”

e.g. I found a critical essay on George Eliot’s interest in the outcast from ELAC Library MLA database.

e.g. This source is helpful in my understanding of Eliot’s description of Silas Marner’s isolation and behavior as an outcast from Lantern Yard and from Raveloe.

(3) Summarize the content.

Summarize briefly and accurately the content of the source. A summary states the work’s main ideas and key points briefly and accurately. The summary is written in the present tense, third person, directly and concisely. Summarizing helps you test your understanding of a source and restate its meaning responsibly. Write about 4-6 sentences.

(4) Write an evaluation of the source: Relevance to your comparison/contrast CHART ASSIGNMENT between your choice of short story/essay and novel Silas Marner.

e.g. In my comparison/contrast Chart for this week’s assignment, this source on Eliot’s interest in the outcast gives me traits of an outcast much like the particular points made by Anne Lamott in “Hunger.”
