Annotated bibliography = an assessment of each source.
So an example from my Ext. History Bibliography:
Bristowe, Dr. William Syer. Louis and the King of Siam published by Chatto & Windus:
London, 1976.
This work was crucial in determining the main facts behind Anna Leonowens. Due to the
intense popularity of the films, which often illustrate Annas original autobiographies,
separating fact from fiction proved to be confusing at times. Dr. Bristowes book was
crucial in ascertaining specific and true facts. Extensive reference to this book was made
on the websites I cited in my essay as well as the subsequent biography of Anna
Leonowens by Leslie Smith Dow, which is further proof of the usefulness and reliability
of this source.
Despite most of the book being about Louis Leonowens, the critical chapter entitled
Anna Unveiled and the introduction to the book was the huge nugget of information
which was vital to my argument and in providing a clearer picture about Anna
Leonowens.
This is just to prove that you actually used/cited the source and not just nicked them from somewhere.
If you are unsure about your proposal - ASK YOUR TEACHER. I saw this time and time again last year - people always complaining about the teacher "didn't tell them this or that or the other"
You're not 4 years old, get up to the staffroom in your precious lunch hour, knock on the door, get the teacher and ask your questions. It ain't hard. (Sorry if i'm aggro, it just gets really annoying hearing people complain about EE2 teachers when they don't *appear* to be taking any sort of self-initiative.) In a nicer way - don't wait for the teacher to come to you, take responsibility for your learning and go to them.
ask them specific questions about EVERYTHING you want to know. Remember, if you don't, its you that suffers ultimatley.
There is also a copy of James King's (Lazarus) proposal in the English Extension 2 section of resources. I do believe Justin was given this proposal as an example of how to write one - but again, check with your school!!! Please!!!
