Although the annotated bibliography is a venerable milestone of any term paper, we don&#8217;t always have time to appreciate the nuances of putting one together in the mad rush to get to our final drafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll devote the month of April to reading and annotating three articles relevant to our readings in Roman satire, and to discussing your annotations in the class. Everything will be on the table, from the bibliographic formats we use at the head of our annotations, to the points we extrapolate from each piece of scholarship, to the larger takeaways that might inform a putative term paper, to best annotating practices at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>Satire, ancient to modern!<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>For the CL 310 semester project students will write a research paper on the intersections of Roman satire and modern satire. Successful projects might explore<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><s>How Roman satire has been transformed by later authors or artists.<\/s><\/li><li><s>How later authors or artists do work reminiscent of Roman satire.<\/s><\/li><li><s>How ancient and modern satire overlap in the subject matter and concerns.<\/s><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><s>The final outcome will be a paper of at least 3600 words, but other milestones will pave the way.<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>To  begin, select a modern exemplar of satire that reminds you of the work that Horace or Juvenal do. For help on thinking about modern satire, consult the various entries in the online <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/lib2.skidmore.edu:2048\/login?url=http:\/\/www.oxfordreference.com\" target=\"_blank\">Oxford Reference<\/a>. For help with the full scope of Horatian or Juvenalian satire, read their works in English.<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>Regardless  of how you choose, your topic should be both substantial (that is, a  major thread of ancient satire with clear echoes in modernity) and yet rather focused (a thread, not a whole tapestry). These requirements will  probably ensure both a robust topic and a sufficient quantity of supporting scholarship.<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><s>Once  you&#8217;ve chosen your topic, research your ancient and modern satirists,  not only their lives and careers, but also particular exemplars of their  works that seem to connect. Sometimes the connections will be overt;  sometimes you might have to tease them out.<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ANNOTATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compiling an annotated bibliography requires several steps, including<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>developing an appropriately scholarly topic<\/li><li>a thorough secondary source search<\/li><li>compiling a list of sources that seem relevant to your topic<\/li><li>obtaining those sources online, through inter-library loan or library shelves<\/li><li>skimming each source to prioritize its usefulness<\/li><li>reading the useful sources closely<\/li><li>annotating the useful sources<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For this project, we&#8217;ll focus on the last two steps: the close reading and the annotations. To save time, everyone will annotate the same pre-selected pieces of scholarship. This process will have the added benefit of comparing annotations from peer to peer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each set of annotations should have three components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(1) A bibliographic entry at top, listing the author, title, year, and other important information in a standard format (your choice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(2) A summary of the source, its main idea or ideas, in one generous paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(2) A reaction to the source \u2014 the big takeaways \u2014 ideally in light of your project, also in one generous paragraph. For our purposes, this second paragraph should be couched as reactions in light of understanding the ancient author and\/or the genre of satire at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In each of our three milestones you&#8217;ll produce a set of annotations on the assigned piece of scholarship. Please be sure to follow the formatting requirements and to observe the deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MILESTONES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The milestones directly below are the only ones pertinent to our reconfigured project.
