  6. How to Create Proper Citations • Know the kind of source you’re looking at • Major Categories • Print • Books • Magazines/Journals • Newspapers • Electronic • Databases • Web

  7. Consult OWL • OWL is Purdue’s online style manual that explains EXACTLY how to format your source. • http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/

  8. Some of the basics • Citing Periodicals (print first) Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of JournalVolume.Issue (Year): pages. Medium of publication. Bird, Big, and Cookie Monster. “Secrets of the Street.” Sunny Skies 6.2 (2008): 32- 35. Print.

  9. Basics Continued • A Work in an Anthology, Reference, or Collection • Works may include an essay in an edited collection or anthology, or a chapter of a book. The basic form is for this sort of citation is as follows: • Lastname, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection. Ed. Editor's Name(s). Place of Publication: Publisher, Year. Page range of entry. Medium of Publication. • Russell, Cristine. “Climate Change: Now What?” The Rhetoric of Green. Ed. CSU Composition Program. US: Fountainhead Press, 2009. 118- 127. Print.

  10. Basics Continued • Personal Interview • Last name, First name of interviewee. Personal Interview. Date of interview. Monster, Cookie. Personal Interview. 20 Jan 2008.

  11. Basics Continued • An article from an Online Database • Author(s) name. “Article Title.” Publication Titlevol.issue (date): pages. Database. Web. Date of access. • Monster, Cookie, and Big Bird. “Cookie Time.” Sunny Skies 45.2 (2009): 251-62. Academic Search Premier. 14 Feb 2012.

  12. Putting it all Together • An Annotation needs the following three things • Citation (MLA format) • Summary • Evaluation

  13. An Example Annotation Brammall, Kathryn M. “Monstrous Metamorphosis: Nature, Morality, and the Rhetoric of Monstrosity in Tudor England.” Sixteenth Century Journal 27.1 (1996): 3-21. MLA International Bibliography. EBSCOhost. University of Northern Colorado, Michener Lib. Web.  30 March 2006. Brammall discusses monstrosity in terms of physical deformity and “misbirths” and what this type of monstrosity means for Tudor England. After a long investigation of birth defects and physical deformities in humans and animals as a sign of God’s displeasure with Englishmen, Brammalllooks at how authors used the fear of physical defect to create “a language capable of terrifying sinners into repentance […] with some slight modifications and a shift in emphasis, the language of monstrosity could be applied to the inwardly, rather than [to] the physically deformed” (5-6). The most interesting part of Brammall’s argument is her exemplification of how John Knox “employed the vitriolic rhetoric of monstrosity in a notorious invective against women” (19), specifically the women rulers of the time and their inward monstrosity rather than any physical deformity. Brammall has written extensively in the field of Tudor English Literature, including two full-length texts Medusa and Shakespeare as well as Queen Elizabeth: A Monster in the Making, or a Made/Maid Monster. Her extensive knowledge in this field of study legitimates her argument about monstrosity in Tudor England. Brammall has also been used as an expert by various other scholars, such as Eeichi Hara and Gloria Platzner. Published in 1996 in Sixteenth Century Journal, Brammall’s argument is relatively new to Renaissance studies, making it exciting to look at closely. Brammall’s article will help strengthen the claim I want to make about Alice Arden in Arden of Faversham, specifically about Alice’s connection to a classical Medusa figure, or even looser, a snake, making her less of a murderer and more of a latent goddess figure.

  14. Another Example Annotation Breen, John M. “The Carnival Body in Arden of Faversham.” Cahiers 45 (1994): 13-20. MLA International Bibliography. EBSCOhost. University of Northern Colorado, Michener Lib. Web.  4 April 2006. In exploring the struggles over land ownership in Arden of Faversham, John Breen also investigates “the play’s carnival impulses and the treatment of bodies as sites on which converging and conflicting social forces impact” (13), suggesting also that Alice is just such a site as are Arden’s lands. Breen argues that Arden of Faversham is a play about displacement, specifically the displacement within the social structure. For example, Breen highlights that Alice is displaced from her noble birth status and that Arden’s sexual drive is displaced. With all of the displacement of people in the play, many characters are marginalized such as Black Will, Shakebag, Greene, and Reede. Breen suggests “Arden’s murder may be interpreted as a momentary success for the marginalized and the dispossessed against the corporate body of the state” (18). Breen intelligently ends his argument explaining that the negotiation of power within a newly developing social system makes itself materially present with the murder of Arden and the violence done to his body. Breen is a noted expert in the literary landscape, specifically literature pertinent to Renaissance and Romanticism in regards to displacement and colonialism. Breen uses much literary theory to support his argument about Alice Arden being socially displaced, including HomiBhaba’s ideas concerning displacement and post- colonialism. With this theoretical connection, Breen’s article could possibly be used to support the idea of woman as colonized, which would reinforce the idea of matrifocal religions being appropriated by a patriarchal systems, which I intend to argue in my longer paper.

  15. Your turn • Take the first article that you brought to class and, using OWL, create a correct citation. • Now offer a concise summary of the article. • Finally, evaluate the source using the 3Rs as a guide. Be sure you offer the reliability of the source, the relevancy to your line of inquiry/how you plan to use it, and also what perspective/stakeholder position this source offers.
