Do not roam the world, keep it in America so your research is more focused. You will need to research causes, effects, and how to try to prevent the abuse, and how to protect children

Paper III will consist of three sets of annotated bibliographies, which will be the basis of paper IV, your research paper. For each draft & the final paper you must have five articles from scholarly journals (no Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, Sports Illustrated, etc.) that are about the topic you have chosen to research. At the end of the final paper you will have compiled a research source of fifteen articles; you will be graded on the final set of bibliographies, number of bibliographies turned in, replaced bibliographies if necessary, and the grading criteria below.

An annotated bibliography is a paper in which you summarize/paraphrase what the article is about, and includes a critical evaluation of the article. You must include author/s credentials. You must also include a brief statement re why this article is important to your research and/or how you intend to use it. For example, it might contain important background info, statistics, etc. You must also include a quote or two from the article and cite afterwards.

There must be a title page-the title is: Annotated Bibliographies. The heading of the first page of each annotation is a Works Cited listing (with all of the usual bibliographic information). Each annotation must be one and a half to two pages in length. You must have a working link to each article on the Works Cited, or it will count as no article, and will result in a failing grade. There will be a final total of fifteen copies of articles. We will be working on summarizing, paraphrasing, citing, and finding good, scholarly sources.

NOTE: If your topic has multiple viewpoints, one or two articles must address the opposite views.
