Question

3.06 - Research and Citations

This assignment is the research for the prompt below:


Based on the book hiroshima and outside research, describe and analyze a current human rights issue. You will illustrate how this real-life issue affects people within the United States and one other country.




Step 1: When researching a topic, it's helpful to first cast a wide net. You may not use them all—you only have to use a minimum of three—but it takes time to find the best sources. Be sure to check on the credibility of your sources before you select them to use.
Remember, you are researching ONE issue and how it impacts the U.S. and one other country.
Put your source in MLA format.

Here’s an example of what one annotated bibliography looks like. You will make three of these.

Example Source Citation/Annotation
MLA Citation (Example)
Human Rights Watch | Defending Human Rights Worldwide. 10 Feb. 2023, www.hrw.org.
Annotation (Example)
Answer these questions:
Authority: Look into the background of the author of the source. What makes them an authority on the issue?
Credibility: Is the source published in a reputable newspaper, magazine, or book? Is someone responsible for supporting and correcting any wrong information?
Connection: How will you tie this source to your selected novel and human rights issue? It may only connect to one or the other. That is okay!
Quotation: What is one really great sentence from this source that you will use in your paper (if you change your mind later, that is okay). Be sure to properly cite it in MLA Guidelines.

I can certainly help you get started with the MLA citations and annotations for your sources. However, since I can't browse the internet or access real-time information, I can't provide specific sources. Instead, I'll guide you on how to structure your citations and annotations.
