Research Paper Draft

I think my confident part of my paper is the content of the main experiments like what Dr. Mengele did to the twins and the dwarf family. I had some really informational websites. I feel like is was easy in the way of finding websites and making annotations and notecards on them, but then I think it's hard because when I was writing my paper it was difficult trying to find websites that went together and would make sense if i put some information from one website with another.

I have a question. If I used a website, but I didn't make an annotation on it should I make an annotation on it so that I can put it in my works cited? I'm scared that I plagiarized something, but I don't think I did. I think that's the only thing I was really worried about, other than just not thinking it was long enough. I think I would like help changing my wording and the work cited like, if I should make an annotation or not. I think you should focus on the context of the writing and if the quotations I used are properly placed.

Work times:

Writing my paper, I used some new websites that were more informational. I spent about three hours writing the paper and doing more research.
About two hours reading our class book and finished it.

  1. Hi Alyssa, you don't need to annotate new sources (meaning write the three paragraphs like you did for the annotated bib), but you absolutely must cite any source you used (meaning an in-text citation and an entry in your works cited list with all of the information). And while you don't need to write an annotation, I'm assuming you are still considering the same questions (Is it useful? Is it credible? Does it come from a reliable site or publication?).
