How will you use it in your paper?”

Topic-
Explain similarities and differences between the United States and one of the following countries
g. Mexico (you will be comparing and contrasting the USA and Mexico using the topics listed below)
(Be sure the topics you select as points of comparison and contrast are related to our studies of US history since Reconstruction. Hint: Using themes outlined in the course syllabus is one easy way to select related topics.)
Topics are: feminism in the 1900s, industrialization in the 1900s, and working class struggles in the 1900s
For your annotated bibliography, answer the following questions -“Who is the author? What are the author’s credentials? Is the source credible? Is it scholarly? What characteristics make the source credible/scholarly? What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? How will you use it in your paper?” The length of your annotations should be one paragraph for each of your sources for a total of at least three sources. A paragraph should be 5-8 sentences long. Your paragraph should paraphrase or summarize your sources in your own words. (Do not copy and paste phrases, sentences, or whole paragraphs from sources or other papers.)
(Please note that more sources do not necessarily equate to more points. Be sure to submit well-written, relevant, quality, scholarly, correctly-formatted sources.) Plagiarized bibliographies will receive a grade of zero (F).•
Be sure to use at least three credible, scholarly references. All annotations and entries must be of high quality and must follow the appropriate format.)
One of the references should be your textbook for this class. (To access the text book you will have to log into achieve macmillian using my information log in)
One of the references must be a scholarly journal article.
No more than one of the references should be an encyclopedia entry. (This means you must consult a thorough encyclopedia, which provides long articles written by field experts.)
Do not include citations for sources without authors
• Do not use web sites like Wikipedia, Hubpages, Ask.com, and History.com. They are quick and easy, but they are not credible and scholarly.
• Cite your sources using Turabian or Chicago styled notation.
• Make sure you consult a style guide or website for help with citing your sources.
Each entry should be written in your own words.
An example has been included in this assignments folder for you. (Note: Do not include comments in your bibliography. I only included them to bring your attention to important information.) The example of how the Annotated Bibliography will be listed below.
