This blog post features my annotated bibliography for my research paper that I am in the process of writing. I chose my topic from the documentary film Where to Invade Next and I have written a full summary of the film in my blog post: Summary and Rhetorical Analysis of Where to Invade Next. My research question for my paper is: If American high schools eliminate standardized tests, will students' ability to learn and prepare for college improve? Below, I have provided sources that are relevant to my paper and will help me develop my argument that standardized tests should be eliminated.

I think it's a smart idea to research an opposing argument and use it as part of your process.

Smart idea in gathering sources to help with building the other side of your research

This annotated bibliography illustrates a clear framework for your paper. And I am a member of NCTE, so I’m happy to see that entry in your list here.
