Assignment 2.04 Annotated BibliographyOption #1 for 2.04
If you choose this option, you will do an Outline for 4.01 and a
Final Draft for 6.01
Why an Annotated Bibliography?
More time to research and think! I can give you feedback on your
sources and better help to shape the direction of your
paper.
This will also show me that you thoroughly understand MLA
citation guidelines and will
help you distinguish between direct quotes, summaries, and your
own ideas once you
begin to write the actual paper. Easy transition between this
step and a GOOD thesis and outline
To Start: Find 7-10 sources that relate to your topic. These can
be articles,websites, journals, etc. Do NOT use Wikipedia or other
"blog" type sites. These resourcesshould not just be historical
dates and facts. Find documents that discuss related events,
key
figures, and the impact of the historical event. (How did your
historic moment affect Religion,
Politics, Culture, Gender Issues, Economics, Technological
Advances, the Environment, etc.?)
Note: Even though your final paper only requires that you cite
(directly refer to) 5 sources, it is
always better to have looked at more.
For Each Source:
1. Create MLA Works Cited Page Entries to show where you got
your information.
You can use the Citation Guidelines posted in DocSharing, or
this Website:
http://www.citationmachine.net (For more help doing either,
check out the Research
Paper Helpdesk located in the Course Announcements.)
2. Findtwo important Direct Quotes and list them below the
citation. Aim for
statements that capture the main ideas of the article, and
remember to put the quote in
quotation marks. If you have a page number, make sure to note
that as well.
3. Write a summary (3-4 sentences) of the source beneath the
direct quotes. Remember
to write this in your own words.What main point is the author
making? What are his/herkey points to support it?
Examples:
1. Soong, Roland. "9/11 Effects In The USA."Zonalatina. 18 July
2002. Web. 2 Feb. 2010..
Immediately after the attacks, domestic air flights were stopped
immediately for several days, for fear of
further attacks. Gradually, airplanes were allowed to fly again
under additional security. Air travel
volume dropped precipitously, as businesses and citizens
curtailed traveling. According to the Travel
Industry Association of America, more than 500,000
travel-related industry workers lost their jobs

nationally. Other public places (malls, restaurants, movies
theaters, etc) also saw decreases in attendance
in the immediate aftermath because they represent potential
targets for terrorist attacks.
There was a report that 30% of New Yorkers suffered
post-traumatic stress disorder over the next six
months in the form of sleeping disorders, nightmares,
alienation/estrangement and depressions. This is anunverifiable
incidence since PTSD sufferers may not be aware.
This page describes the effects that 9/11 had on people. There
is also a nice graph to show that there are
less people that travel and less people who work because of the
fright this event has caused. This page
also tells about the percentage of people who suffer from PTSD
because of this.
2. "What have been the effects of the events of September 11,
2001 on BLS data?" U.S. Bureau ofLabor Statistics. 6 Jan. 2004.
Web. 02 Feb. 2010. .
several of the industries with substantial employment declines
in October 2001 and some subsequent
months, particularly air transportation, transportation services
(which includes travel agencies), and
hotels, have undoubtedly been affected by the aftermath of the
terrorist attacks and the widespread
decline in travel following September 11.
BLS found that as of December 29th there were 408 extended mass
layoff events, involving 114,711
workers, directly or indirectly attributed to the attacks.
This page describes the economical effects of September 11th
attacks. There were a lot of job losses as
well as lay offs. Air travel and Hotels were affected the most
with people afraid of traveling by plane.
