TOPIC: H.R. 4744: Iran Human Rights and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act    https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/hr4744

 THIS IS A ROGERIAN FORM ESSAY

• The main body of essay should be between 900 and 1000 words, excluding the required annotated bibliography.
• The essay needs to be in MLA format.
• It should include an Annotated Bibliography instead of a works cited list (see the end of this assignment for an example of an Annotated Bibliography)
• You must use at least 5 sources, and at least 3 must be CREDIBLE SOURCES
• Note: Consider your audience as laymen in the field with only general knowledge of your topic

• Organize your essay into the expected sections for an academic essay (introduction, body paragraphs, conclusion), and make sure to also include all the elements of Rogerian form (your claim and support, an unbiased discussion of the opposition's claim and support, and a clear discussion of the common ground idea/concern that could bring the two sides together, and help the opposing side see why your stance also serves their concerns).

 EXAMPLE OF ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 

The Annotated Bibliography: An annotated Bibliography (AB) is due with your Rogerian essay. Using the MLA guide, list each source as it will appear on the Works Cited page of your essay. Summarize each source in two or three grammatically-correct  sentences, and also state how the source contributed to your project. These short summaries are the "annotations."

The following is a sample of an "annotated bibliography."
