Please write an annotated bibliography of the books you will be using for your final essay. The list of sources should include both primary and secondary sources.
What are the components of an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography usually contains three parts:Source Citation: Like a regular bibliography, an annotated bibliography provides proper citation information for each source.Remember that historians usually use Chicago style. Visit our citation section for information about formatting your citations. Your professor may allow other styles, such as MLA; check which style your professor recommend
Source Summary: The first part of your entry will summarize the source concisely.Aim not to dazzle your professor with extensive detail, but to state briefly the topic and main argument of your source. If you are annotating a secondary source, in addition to summarizing the main idea, you will want to give information about how the source is organized, the main types of evidence the author relies on, and how the author makes his or her argument.If you are annotating a primary source, in addition to the main idea, explain the type of source (e.g. a letter, newspaper, census report, etc.), identify the author (include the author’s position and other information to help the reader understand the writer’s perspective and why s/he was in a position to create the source), and state the author’s intended audience.
Source Evaluation: Your source evaluation explains how the source contributes to a particular topic.If you are producing an annotated bibliography in anticipation of writing a research paper, your professor might ask you to consider exactly how you will use the source in your paper. What does the source do for your argument?Is it one of the key pieces of evidence supporting your case?Does it offer crucial background information?Does it present a counterpoint to your argument that you need to address?Other professors might want you to focus more on an evaluation of the source itself.In this case, be sure to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the source.Did you find the argument persuasive?If so, explain what made the argument work well.Were you unconvinced by some of the author’s claims?If so, explain why.You will also want to put the source into the context of the field as a whole.What does this source teach us that we did not know before?Is it filling in a particular gap in the field?Is it refuting a long-held assumption? Authors will often explain how they understand the contribution of their work, so begin by looking in the introduction for such information.
How to write an annotated bibliography.
The first step is to decide which sources will be most critical for your topic. Often, your professor will assign an annotated bibliography relatively early on in the writing process, so perhaps you do not yet know exactly which sources will be the most important or how exactly you will use them.To help you figure that out, think about the research questions that led you to your topic in the first place and then think about which sources would best help you answer those questions.A major benefit of writing an annotated bibliography is that, by the end of it, you will have a far better idea of what your project looks like, what you are arguing, and what evidence you have to support your argument.
Once you have identified your key sources, the second step is to put into writing the main argument of each source. To help you glean the author’s argument, take a step back and look at the big picture.What problem is this author trying to address?What holes in our knowledge does the writer intend to fill?If you had to describe this source to someone who had never read it, what would you say?If you are having trouble capturing the main idea, reread the author’s introduction and conclusion.In those sections, the author is likely to lay out in detail the larger argument.
Now that you know the main argument of the source, the third step is to figure out how successfully the author supported the argument. Look back through the source and see exactly what evidence the author used to make his or her case.Is there enough evidence?Do you agree with how the author interpreted the evidence?In this step, you will also want to put this source into conversation with other sources.Ask how this source fits in with the other ones you have read.Does it agree with them?Disagree?Did you find some sources more convincing than others?If so, why?
Attached below you will find 3 secondary sources (Eldem, Peirce, Raymond), and one more secondary source, HOWEVER, the 4th secondary source entitled “Fariba Zarinabaf. (2001) The Role of Women in the Urban Economy of Istanbul, 1700-1850” is really a secondary source that is comprised of many primary sources. Pick TWO from this document as the two primary sources for this assignment, and make sure to cite each of them individually. And use the other 3 secondary sources as the secondary sources for this assignment. Use the “How to write an annotated bibliography” pdf as reference as well.
