Condensed annotated Bibliography
Order Description
File 5 – Lit Review Drug in Society
To understand where your research interests are, you need to get yourself situated in what work already exists. This class helps with this process by providing an overview of contemporary research. To say what you want to say, however, you will need to begin collecting bits and pieces of information to put to use. One good way to organize this process is to work on an annotated
Bibliography (for further info on what an annotated bibliography is, see
http://guides.library.cornell.edu/annotatedbibliography). You should think about your annotated
Bibliography like a top ten list of materials related to your research interests (see handout on reverse for further instruction.)
For this file you’ll need to construct a condensed annotated bibliography including various different kinds of media. Our annotated bibliography will be extra short, and you should average between 40-60 words per entry (bibliographic information does not count for length). Your annotated bibliography should include seven summaries total:
1. Media (Fictional) – Re-use file 1 or select another reference relevant to your research interests.(Breaking Bad)
2. Media (Non-Fictional) – A newspaper, magazine article, or news report available on YouTube
3. Reference Article – A summary of a reference article (see http://bit.ly/2fQRC70) relating to some phenomena you are interested in writing about
4. From the Reader – Anything we’ve read on the (revised) syllabus (chapter selections from Quinones also work).
5. Book (non-fiction) – Select book from bibliography of research article, read book review (see http://library.hunter.cuny.edu/databases/titles/b - “Book Review
Digest Plus”), write 40-60 word summary of book review.
6. A summary of one (1) of the abstracts of the academic articles (available here -

a) Roberts, B. R., & Chen, Y. (2013). Drugs, violence, and the state. Annual review of sociology, 39, 105-125.

7. Your Choice Research Article – Summary of abstract from research article you find related to your research interests. I’d suggest skimming the bibliography from your article in step 6 and grab something with a title that grabs your attention.
