ENG 305 George Mason Frontline Robots in Tourism & Hospitality Annotated Bibliography

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHYOVERVIEWChoosing an issue and an audience for your advocacy letter will require research, include gatheringbackground information to teach yourself about the issue, help you better understand the multipleperspectives on the issue, determine your own stance, and identify an audience who disagrees, inpart or in total, with your stance.Setting out to gather this information is called exploratory research. You begin with a researchquestion, but you don’t have to arrive at a thesis by the time you have compiled this annotatedbibliography. Your goal is to use these sources to educate yourself, understand both sides of theissue, and learn who has decision-making authority over it.ASSIGNMENTPART 1: COMPILE YOUR ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHYList six highly credible sources that help you understand the scope of a current and unresolved issuein your field and the audiences who have decision-making authority over it. (NOTE: To arrive at sixgreat sources, you will probably review many more than that.) Four of those sources must be from ascholarly journal. The remainder must come from other reputable sources, such as major newspublications, notable blogs written by credentialed authors, government or academically publishedstatistics, legitimate interviews, or others.Include sources that address the following aspects:? At least two sources for background information about the issue.? At least one source that provides evidence about a potential audience—someone withdecision-making authority over the issue you are investigating.? At least two sources that offer differing perspectives on the issue.? At least one source that establishes why this issue is current and unresolved in your field.Write the source citations accurately using the documentation style appropriate for your academicdiscipline.PART 2: WRITE THE ANNOTATIONS (100-200 WORDS EACH)For each of your sources (below each citation), you must write a rhetorical précis—a four-sentencesummary or “annotation” that includes the following:Sentence 1 Name of author and title of work; a rhetorically accurate verb (such as asserts, argues,suggests, contends, believes, reports, indicates, insists); and a “that” clause containing the thesis ormain argument of the work.Sentence 2 A brief but accurate explanation of how the author develops or supports the thesis,usually in the same order as was developed in the essay.Sentence 3 A statement of the author’s apparent purpose, followed by an “in order to” phrase.Sentence 4 An explanation of how this source is relevant to your research and why you chose it.Example:Goodall, Jane. “Primate Research is Inhumane.” Animal Rights: Opposing Viewpoints. Ed.Janelle Rohr. San Diego, CA: Greenhaven, 1989: 95-100.In “Primate Research is Inhumane,” Jane Goodall argues that most laboratories using primatesengage in inhumane practices. She supports her argument through detailed descriptions of labenvironments and draws special attention to the neglect of psychological comforts which theseprimates endure until they sometimes become insane. Her purpose is to speak on behalf of thechimpanzees in order to persuade her readers to see that if we do not fight for improvements in labcare, “we make a mockery of the whole concept of justice.” I chose this source because Goodall isa well-known subject matter expert and animal rights activist whose research shows animals canfeel emotions, which provides an alternate perspective to other scholars who claim animals do not.
