5-7 sources from academic, peer reviewed sources. (the databases at COD should be your go to for these sources)
Sources focused around a narrowed issue or question of inquiry.
Adherence to MLA format for all citations.
Sources in alphabetical order according to author.
Thoughtful and complete annotations.
Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
