Are children smarter (or more socialized) because of the Internet?

You need to render your annotated bibliography in proper MLA citation style. For each entry, you need to provide a brief summary of the overall scope of the argument made by each author, so read for both their thesis and major claims. Those are the major points you want to summarize in your annotation and this summary should constitute one full paragraph of about five to six sentences. Your next paragraph needs to detail the utility of the author’s argument or perspective to your own, so you need to be able to highlight such ideas as the following: Does the author’s work jive with my own interests in this topic, or does it digress from where I want to go? If I find the author’s assessments useful, which ones would I want to address, highlight, or disagree with? If the author’s perspective is less than useful for my purposes, why? What does the author not cover or dismiss that seems important? Does the author only touch on something that needs further exploration? In other words, questions like these create a dialogue between your own ideas and those of the various authors you will consider, such that you begin to construct a “They Say” and an “I say” dynamic around which you will construct your essay. Remember that you can agree, disagree, or partially agree with an author and each of these positions is useful toward crafting an argument. You need six (6) sources, minimum, for this assignment. Of the six, four (4) must derive from books and scholarly articles (two from each ideally) as the minimum number of scholarly sources at which you look. You are free to consider any other viable sources for your topic, including additional scholarly books and journal articles.
