Order Description
Introduсtion:
begin identifying and evaluating sources to determine how effectively they can support your argument. If needed, the “Topic Ideas” web link below can be used for
selecting your research topic.
For this task, you will create an annotated bibliography by finding 8-10 sources for your research paper, listing the sources in APA-formatted references, and
providing an annotation for each source. Each annotation should offer a summary of the source, an evaluation of its author’s or publisher’s credibility, and an
assessment of its relevance to your topic.
Requirements:
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be
directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. Use the Turnitin Originality Report available in Taskstream as a guide for this measure
of originality.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below
may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
A. Compose an appropriate, arguable thesis statement that previews two to four main points and that you plan to use in your research paper.
B. Create an annotated bibliography of eight to ten appropriate, credible sources that you plan to use in your research paper.
Note: You may use the attached “Annotated Bibliography Template” to complete your annotated bibliography, but use of the attached template is not required.
1. Provide a full, APA-formatted reference citation for the 8–10 sources.
2. Provide an annotation (suggested length of 150 words) for each of the 8–10 sources by doing the following:
a. Summarize the information presented in the source.
b. Analyze the credibility of the source’s author or publication, if no author is present.
c. Analyze the relevance of the source to your chosen research topic.
3. Write each annotation in your own words, without the excessive use of direct quotation or extensive paraphrasing, for the 8–10 sources from part B.
C. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

Thesis statement: Research shows that tiny homes are a great alternative to larger, traditional homes because they are more affordable and environmentally friendly,
and they help people simplify their lives.
Annotated Bibliography
Adams, R. (2008, Mar/Apr). The comfort zone: How small can it be? Science & Spirit, 19(2), 32-35.
This article addresses how the increased interest in tiny homes is a result of increasing support from architects, economists, and activists who seek low-impact,
environmentally-friendly means of living. The main focus of the article is to demonstrate how investing in and building tiny homes allows people to save money that
they would normally be spending on larger homes. The article ultimately asks the reader to consider if she can do with less. Rachel Adams is an editor at Change
magazine, a higher learning, scholarly source. Adams' professional role mandates fact checking and knowledge of the topic, and the sources she draws on are credible,
thereby making her article credible. This article will be used to discuss the credible research being done on the benefits of tiny homes, as well as the statistics as
to how popular this type of home is becoming in the U.S., post-economic crash.
Bender, K. (2009, May/June). Little boxes: The new movement to seriously downsize our homes. E: The Environmental Magazine, 20(3), 34-39.
This article addresses the cultural environments surrounding a move toward building and owning tiny houses. The article looks at the U.S. culture's emphasis on "big,"
where small has a negative meaning. This push toward bigger-is-better is rooted in competition, where people buy more and more and bigger and bigger in order to appear
better than others, according to Bender. The article considers how a move toward tiny houses signals a cultural shift, where people place more value on experiences and
being eco-friendly over a desire for material things and a competitive model that depletes natural resources. It also offers some examples of the wide variety of tiny
houses available on the market. Kristin Bender is a freelance writer who also owns a small home. Her article was written for E magazine, which is a 20-year running
magazine on environmental issues and solutions. This source is relevant to the thesis statement because it provides examples of the benefits of building tiny homes,
the reasons actual homeowners choose to build and live in tiny homes, and the increased market for tiny homes
