So your MS word document should be one document that is 3 pages in total. a full MLA citation as it would appear on your Works Cited page refer to Content >> Guide A: Research and MLA, as needed a summary, two to three sentences long, where you highlight the main argument of the source and the most important takeaways in a sentence or two, an evaluation of the effectiveness and credibility of your source a response of your reaction to the source and how you will use it in your writing or research project, in a sentence or two The list should be in alphabetical order as it would be on your Works Cited page. In addition, because the goal of this assignment is to identify sources that you will be able to subsequently critique and eventually use in your upcoming essays, work to identify sources that will meet the Argument Essay’s requirements: All sources for your paper need to be accessed via a library index (SEE RESOURCES ATTACHED). For the purposes of this assignment and to clarify, Google Scholar (or similar) does not count as a library index. One of the outcomes of ENC 1102 that students must demonstrate is how to access a library index, such as a database, and, when relevant, at least one of the 3 sources can reflect your topic’s local impact (at the state, city, or county level).
