tell me you won't stop dreaming

even when you stop believing

tell me your your heart is true,

that you will still be you

tell me your nightmares

even when no one else cares

sweet flaming ember

please remember

to keep breathing,

don't stop dreaming,

save yourself,

it will all end tonight,

go to sleep, for my

soul is yours to keep.

darkness is taking over

just know, I might not be there

when you wake.

Say your last words. You won't

get the chance when i'm gone.

you should tell me you won't stop

dreaming, even when you stop beliving,

tell me your heart is true, but that you will still be you.

scared, just scared

Are you scared, just scared
of anything
Are you scared, just scared
of the demons and shadows
Are you scared, just scared
of being all alone
you can doooo it
you can doooo it
you can roam this earth
on your owwwnnn
you'll never be alo-ooonnne

Writing an MLA Annotated Bibliography - by Ms. Watkins and Mr. McClain

Writing an MLA Annotated Bibliography

What exactly is an annotated bibliography?  An annotated bibliography is a works cited page that includes an annotation: a short paragraph that informs the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

Why do I have to write one of these anyway?  Annotated bibliographies require you to think meaningfully about your sources.  As you read through them, you will consider what content the source covers, how accurate and current the information is, and how the work will specifically help you with your project.  This is also a very efficient way for your teacher to review your sources to help you if you are struggling with your project.

I see the purpose of an annotated bibliography, but how do I write one?  Annotated bibliographies typically follow the general guidelines listed below.  In some cases, your teacher may ask you to add additional information or let you know that some information is not required.  Be sure to check with your teacher to make sure you are meeting all of the requirements for your specific annotated bibliography!

General Guidelines

v  Citations should follow standard MLA format.  You may use the 7^th Edition of the MLA Handbook or follow the guidelines as they are explained on the Purdue OWL’s webpage:  https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/05/

v  Annotations should be written in third person. Do not use statements that begin with “I thought….” “I feel…” etc.

v Length can vary depending on the project and source you are evaluating, but 200-300 words per entry is usually acceptable.

v An annotated bibliography typically includes some or all of the following objective criteria; however, remember to check with your teacher for any special instructions:

Ø  Content (topics addressed)

Ø  Overall purpose of the work

Ø  Intended audience for the work

Ø  Authority of the author or source

Ø  Reliability or bias of the source

Ø  Currency of the work

Ø  Useful features (illustrations, maps, references, timelines, glossary, index, multimedia components)

Ø  Usefulness for the project

That’s all great, but can I see an example of what one of these might look like?  Of course you can!  Flip over to the back of this page, and you can see a sample annotated bibliography entry.  Because you are submitting the annotated bibliography separately, you should also use a correct MLA heading at the top of the paper.  Please note that this sample is borrowed from the Purdue OWL.

"My Broken Heart" by: "Alex" Miller

………….My Broken Heart………….

My broken heart

Two pieces;

Two pieces of one,

two pieces under the sun.

It's cold, but warm.

It’s my broken heart.

No one can fix

the darkness and demons, so run like you don’t want to be hurt.

My broken heart;

My broken heart is a waste of space.

No one can replace

the aches that grow every day.

No one can ever know I'll be okay.

I have a broken heart.

What was once filled with love and innocence

is now filled with pain and heartache.

My broken heart will never be the same, but

It's wild now, never to be tamed.

Run as you will, run as you may,

my heart will never be okay.

It's broken, it's hollow

it will never see the light of tomorrow,

and it cries tears of sorrow.

It's been hearing lies.

it always cries,

but sadly never dies.

That’s my broken heart.
