1. For next Mon., bring to class a 6 Source Annotated Bibliography. Graded. ALSO BRING PRINT-OUT COPIES OF YOUR 6 SOURCES TO CLASS. (You might not end up using all the sources you annotate in your research paper, and you still might find another source or two that you do use)
2. Read "You -- Yes You Are the Person of the Year" and either "Whither Psychoanalysis" or "Plato's Cave" (see Sources Link) include an annotation for each of these as part of your 6 source annotated bibliography.

Start your paragraph…..
Zengotita, Thomas. “The Numbing of the American Mind” Harper’s Magazine. April, 2002. Print.
Summarize the author’s major claims. Give an overview of author’s argument.
Assess the source in comparison with at least 2 of the other sources in your bibliography. Be specific.
Reflect on how you might use the source, and how it might fit into your own argument. How does the source help you consider your primary text? Consider the source as a LENS through which to view your primary text. What would the source-author say about your primary text?
