Chapter 2 focuses on these ideas. Consider why people write and how that writing may benefit us.

Why might a writer feel compelled to write about literature? How does it benefit us personally and/or professionally?

For this assignment, you will write an annotated bibliography on three sources. For detailed information on how to create your Annotated Bibliography, please see the sample created by the developer in the assignment prompt below.
In your Annotated Bibliography, you will
Identify your primary source(s) and two secondary, academic sources. If you chose to discuss two poems in your Week One assignment, each must have its own entry in the Annotated Bibliography.
Summarize each source and explain how the source supports your working thesis. These summaries should be 100 to 150 words for each entry.
For the Annotated Bibliography assignment, you will write annotations for three sources. One source should be a primary source. Next, you will choose two secondary sources that are additional to the text.
The two sources you locate must be academic sources and come from peer-reviewed journals or other scholarly publications. For information on finding sources within the Ashford Library, please view the ENG125 – Literature Research tutorial.
