Paper For Above instruction
The task requires creating a comprehensive working bibliography consisting of at least six sources formatted according to Chicago/Turabian style. The sources must cover diverse types, including primary sources, a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article, a secondary source excluding the Yawp, and one additional source of the student's choosing, which should not be a tertiary reference such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, or textbooks.
Each entry in the bibliography must include an annotation that thoroughly discusses the source's content, thesis, evidence, and relevance to the research project. Specifically, the annotation should contain a clear summary of the source’s main themes or online exhibit content, an explanation of the author’s central argument or the exhibit's purpose, details about the supporting evidence or images, and an explicit statement regarding how this source will aid the research.
To exemplify, for primary sources, students might select historical documents, letters, or official records, providing annotations that explain their context and relevance. For scholarly journal articles, students should choose peer-reviewed pieces that contribute academic perspectives, and their annotations should summarize the article’s thesis and evidence used.
The secondary source could be a reputable history book or article that interprets or analyzes historical events but is not the Yawp, which is a university-produced open-access textbook. The additional source should be carefully selected to complement the research, offering unique insights or additional information not covered by the other sources.
Organizing the bibliography with clear citations and detailed annotations will ensure clarity, demonstrate research depth, and support the project’s scholarly rigor. Proper use of Chicago/Turabian style is essential throughout the citations.
