Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. The Process Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research. First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic. Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style. Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.

RESPOND TO CHARLIE POST and compare your classmates’ observations with your own–are there any connections between the way you and your classmates interpret the relevance of art? If your interpretation of the relevance of art differs significantly from one of your classmates’ observations, how do you account for this variance? What can you learn from this?  Charlie post During this class I have learned that all art is interpreted by each individual. Meaning that everyone sees something different or sometimes the same. Earlier works were very religious. and slowly progressed into emotion and love like Rococo art. I learned that art is always progressing and deeply reflects the time and place or events that happened during that time.  Society is reflected in the art of that time and vise versa, a society of the time needs shock and awe. Art is very emotional and has been a way to self-expressing for many years. What I have learned in humanities has opened my mind to understanding art. It’s not just a painting to me anymore it is an expression of the artist’s soul. and has allowed me to open my mind to the many works of art and from many time periods, this by far has been my favorite class. I feel like I was blind before this class there is so much to art that I now understand. I am so thankful for this class my mind is finally free.

Choose a time period (1950-1995; 1965-1975; etc). c. Choose five songs that best exemplify the change you are examining. d. In a word document, in chronological order, list the name of the song, the year it was written/released, and a paragraph explaining the meaning and importance of the song you chose to the social change you identified. Directions:In this assignment, you will be constructing a historical argument about a topic/theme of your choice and articulating the change/continuity over time and its historical significance. For your evidence, you will be using popular music. This assignment requires that you choose five songs as evidence for your historical argument. After identifying a historical change or continuity, you will write an introductory paragraph that outlines the historical context, change/continuity, significance, and your argument. Then, you will put the five songs you have chosen in chronological order, with a paragraph of textual and contextual analysis for each. For your textual analysis, you may want to quote a line or two from the song as evidence of your interpretation. After you have written a paragraph for each song, you will need to write a concluding paragraph that summarizes your historical continuity or change, thesis, and significance. You will need to choose an appropriate periodization, explaining why the time period you chose is crucial to understanding the continuity/change you are exploring.
