Annotated Bibliography Instructions:
In a new Word document, create an Annotated Bibliography. Do some independent research and find four (4) sources to include in your Annotated Bibliography. These should be from a variety of places—try to find a mix of scholarly and popular sources (so articles coming from both academic journals and places like news websites, or blog posts.)
Remember that you might not use all of these sources for your final draft—you might discard some of these sources, or add new ones in. At this point in your research project, you should be looking at a wide variety of sources and seeking to absorb as much information as possible about your issue.
Your Annotated Bibliography should contain the following:
Four (4) sources
Each source cited in appropriate MLA 8 formatting and in alphabetical order by the first letter of the citation (usually the author’s last name.)
Under each citation, you should provide a brief, 2-3 paragraph write up of your source. In the write up, please address the following:
What is the source about? Summarize the source
Does it seem reliable/credible? (Use what you know about source analysis (think—CRAAP test) to tell me if it is reliable and why)
How might you use this source in your own research project?
