These past couple of weeks in class we worked on an annotated bibliography assignment. Before I go more in depth about the project itself, I would just like to say that I actually enjoyed doing the work and research for it.
The purpose of this assignment, was to find twenty to twenty five article sources that relate to blogging, documentary, or rhetorical analysis. After finding a given source, we were then asked to write a small paragraph connecting the article's main topic to something we had discussed previously in class.
This assignment was enjoyable if not fun even, for several different reasons. First of all, outside of the sources having to deal with blogging, documentary, or rhetorical analysis, they could be related to almost any subject in today's society, as long as you were able to bring it back to an aspect of this class. This led to a lot of freedom within the project when it came to finding the sources I wanted to annotate. I was able to find sources that spread all over the spectrum of topics. From business, to travel, to treating people's psychological disorders, sources related to blogging were able to cover many different subjects. Because of this exact reason, I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment, because it enabled me to look of sources outside of "the cannon" and incorporate what Gerald Graff would insist on calling "street smarts."
