Your final draft must incorporate visual/graphical material into the research project. Since this material is sometimes difficult to locate, it makes sense to start hunting as early as possible.

This assignment requires you to locate at least two sources that contain the kind of information that can be presented visually – as a chart or graph.

You might choose to take some tabular data (information presented as a table) from a source and convert it to a visual format. You may opt to include (to “quote” in a way) visual representations of information already prepared in a source you have found in your research.

The purpose of this assignment is to get you to actively connect the textual and the visual, to weave visual information into your project in an effective way.

Your Task:
Find two sources (on the web, in scholarly articles, or in books). Identify the “visual” that you think can be useful for your research project. If you find “data” in a table, you’ll present both the table and a visual construction based on the table.
1) Make sure you have a copy of the visual or the data from which you'll construct a visual.
2) For each source, write a 3-5 sentence summary.
3) Explain just what the visual information shows (3-6 sentences).
4) Explain how/why you think each visual element can fit into your project. What does the visual help you say?

These sources will go into your annotated bibliography. By November 16, you’ll have (at a minimum) the following sources (listed alphabetically) in an annotated bibliography.
*Omi/Winant and/or Nagel
*3 Web sources
*3 books
*3 scholarly articles
*2 sources that contain visual information (or information that can be presented visually)

Bring 4 copies of your work on this assignment to class on November 16!
