Conducting research for an argumentative essay involves gathering sources that are reliable, relevant, and current. This exercise will require to compile and evaluate sources quickly, conduct careful, close readings of those sources, and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses within your topic.

Guidelines for compiling the sources and annotations:

1. Create a works cited entry for the source and list it alphabetically by last name of the primary author, making sure to include all necessary information, as required by MLA.
2. Immediately follow each entry with your annotation of that work in three paragraphs that are double-spaced and written in italics.
3. Begin each annotation with a paragraph summarizing the work including the thesis idea and the main points discussed, followed by a paragraph critiquing the strengths/weaknesses of the work, and ending with a brief synthesis paragraph explaining how the entry might be used within your own argument.
