Evaluative annotations include both a short description and your evaluation of the cited

source. In your evaluation, critically assess the selected source for accuracy, relevance,

and quality. Compare to other sources on the same topic that you have also cited to show

similarities and differences. Explain why each source is useful for your research topic and

how it relates to your topic. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the source. Identify

the observations or conclusions of the author.

Prior research has shown narrative writing to help with making meaning out of trauma.

This article uses grounded theory to analyze semi-structured interviews with ten spoken

word poets. Because spoken word poetry is performed live, it creates personal and

community connections that enhance the emotional development and resolution offered

by the practice of writing. The findings are limited by the small, nonrandom sample (all

the participants were from the same community).

Ontiveros, R. J. (2014). In the spirit of a new people: The cultural politics of the Chicano

movement. New York University Press.

Ontiveros argues that the arts provide an expression of the Chicano movement that

circumvents neoliberalism and connects historic struggles to current lived experience.

Chicano artists have integrated environmentalism and feminism with the Chicano
 3

movement in print media, visual arts, theater, and novels since the 1970s. While focused

on art, this book also provides a history of the coalition politics connecting the Chicano

movement to other social justice struggles.
