Argumentative paper as to why healthcare disparities are due to racial and gender bias and not power nor health insurance. Use the information on the Annotated Bibliography Instruction page to format an annotated bibliography for your Argumentative Research paper. Since the essay requires 5-7 references, you need to have at least 5 sources included in the bibliography. These will be sources you add to your own field research. As long as the sources you submitted in Annotated Bibliography #1 are still relevant and will be used in the Argumentative paper, you may keep them as two of the sources for this expanded Annotated Bibliography.
Remember, this is a class that focuses on research, so the evidence you include should be from trustworthy, scholarly sources (i.e. no Wikipedia, clickbait, etc.). Your source list and your understanding of source credibility should grow and expand as you become more comfortable and competent with research. Your Annotated Bibliography 2 should show this and represent mostly academic, scholarly sources.
Since we are now moving into argument, the second paragraph of your annotation should also include your response to the source. Do you agree with it, disagree with it, or respond in some other way? How does it support or challenge your own position?
How to Annotate:
Write two paragraphs of annotations for EACH SOURCE. The information included in each paragraph should be as follows:
Paragraph 1 (Summarize): Completely and respectfully summarize the source. What argument is being made? What evidence is given in support of the argument? Be detailed and specific. What strategies does the author use to make her/his argument?
Paragraph 2 (Asses and Reflect): Is the author credible? How or why? Is the source useful (think about why the source deserves to have a voice in your paper or how it compliments your research)? How does it help shape the information you will present in your paper? Think not only about the information it provides, but also how that information is useful when joined with your other source(s). For Annotated Bibliography 2, also spend time in this paragraph discussing your own response to the source (do you agree, disagree, etc.).
How It Should Look:
Be sure to consult the example provided. A few key points:
Bibliography must be in alphabetical order by the first item in the reference citation (usually the author’s last name)
