Complete the annotated bibliography. Turn it in as one document that includes all five annotation entries. Be sure to alphabetize your sources by the author's last name, and include a proper heading.

Assignment for Friday, Nov. 16

Finish reading Coates's Between the World and Me (pp. 133-152). In the first part of class, we will discuss Between the World and Me (including the reading for Tuesday's class that we didn't get to); in the second part, you will finish working on your second annotated bibliography entry. See my comments on your first bibliography entry before you complete the second one.

Assignment for Wednesday, Nov. 7

In Coates's Between the World and Me, read from pp. 73-99 (there's a clear break at the top of p. 99; stop there). You will answer some questions about it in class.

Also, read the handout on identifying and evaluating sources that was distributed in class. You don't need to read the whole thing; focus on pp. 68-69, and 76-82. During Wednesday's class, you will have time to work on the annotated bibliography, but you could start thinking about or looking into potential books and articles that you will write about in the annotated bibliography. The handout on the annotated bibliography assignment is available here, and it is posted to the right.
