You must use no less than three sources total.
You may use ONLY TWO of the sources I have already provided you; the third must come from your independent research through EBSCO or Google Scholar.
Start by placing your three MLA source citation listings in alphabetical order.  After doing this, create an annotative summary after each one; if done correctly, your bibliography should include the following pieces of information in the following order:
Your St. Raymond’s MLA heading at the top left corner of the page
Your first MLA source citation listing and the annotative summary for that source
Your second MLA source citation listing and the annotative summary for that source
Your third MLA source citation listing and the annotative summary for that source
MLA Source Citation Formatting Guidelines
All citation listings should be single-spaced.
The first line of the source listing is always left-justified on the page; all lines of text after this are single-indented.
The first letter of all significant words (basically words that are not articles or conjunction like and, the, of, a, with, to, it, etc.) are capitalized.
Article titles are always placed in “quotation marks”; the titles of the journals in which they appear are italicized.
Your sources must be placed in ALPHABETICAL ORDER.  When viewing your MLA source citation listings, look at the very first letter in that listing (most commonly the first letter of the author’s last name) and order your sources accordingly.  So, for instance, an article written by Baker, John would be listed before an article written by Ferris, Andy, which would be listed before an article written by Smith, Jane.
At the end of the citation listing, you will need to add three pieces of information on your own: these are viewed date, the media tag, and the full URL for the article itself, the first two of which should have a period at the end of them.
The viewed date is the day you first laid eyes on the article.  This is written out by day/month/year and is formatted as a one- or two-digit number, the three letter abbreviation of the month, and the year.  Basically, if you put 19 Apr. 2024 as your viewed date, you will be fine.
The media tag for all of your sources will be the word Web; this is to indicate that you accessed your sources online.
Lastly, copy and paste the full URL from the PDF link of your article.
Annotation Requirements (Follow this process when annotating each source)
Summarize the information contained in that source.  Specifically, this means:
Explaining the subject of the source (what it’s about).
Explaining what major topics are addressed in the source.
Explain how you will use this information to complete your research paper.  Specifically, this means:
Explaining how the source relates to the purpose of your research paper.
Explaining what major topics or pieces of information you will be using from the source toward fulfilling this purpose.
Each of your annotative summaries should be double-spaced and accomplished in the space of one large or two smaller paragraphs.
