Annotated Bibliography
Summary
Each week from weeks 2 to 6 you have a weekly deadline by which you need to have completed your Annotated Bibliography entry for that week's reading. Use the Reading List tab on the left for the required reading for each week. Your first deadline is Tuesday February 28 at 9am (this is for the Week 2 reading, Communication and Culture) and for the rest of the semester the deadline will be every Tuesday at 9am. This is to ensure you have done the reading prior to the lecture and tutorial, which will assist you is class discussion and activities.
Task
· At the start of semester open a document that will contain all your annotations.
·Each week complete the 100 word annotation in the correct APA 7th style citation (See Learning Support below for examples and a guide).
· Once you have completed each weekly annotation go to Assignments (tab on left menu) and upload your document (only doc or docx formats accepted) by Tuesday 9am to the Essay One Assignment, so for the Week 2 entry on the Carey reading by the Tuesday in Week 2 (February 28) at 9am. Then in the same document add your week 3 reading entry and upload again by the Tuesday in Week 3 (March 7) and so on. Note: The week 1 reading is not part of this assessment but offers an understanding of media theory.
·Write your essay in the same document and include an APA style reference list of ALL sources used in the Essay, include those that are in the Annotated Bibliography entries. Note: Although in the same document the entries are separate from the essay so your final submission should have the five entries (a citation and 100 word annotation) and then the essay with the reference list.
Rationale;Each week's reading will help inform your lecture and tutorial discussions and exercises and, collectively, the annotated bibliographic entries will be an essential source for the Essay. The process of constructing an annotated bibliography will also introduce you to University-level essay writing, critical thinking and argument.

Jenkins wrote this article as a response to the various
essays they received on fandom studies focusing on three primary themes. These
themes include the platform offered by these studies to address other policy
concerns, the discussion on prioritizing fans' affective connections with media
publications and celebrities, or the communal aspect of fandom and broadening
these studies to address new issues in the field and trends. Additionally,
the author provides their views on concepts such as racism and sexuality in
these studies. The insights and arguments presented by Jenkins are valuable and
act as a guide for enhancing these studies and aligning them with societal
issues.
