Annotated Bibliography

This provides the foundation for all your papers but specifically the research paper. The sources in your papers plus some make up the bib. The purpose of the Annotated Bibliography is to allow you to read carefully and critically, rather than simply to collect information about your topic. This assignment is an instrument to help formulate a strong argument based on a critique of each of your sources. Each annotation should include in one paragraph: a summary, an evaluation of the text, and a reflection on its usefulness to your own research. Your annotated bibliography should include a minimum of 8 sources. Credible sources should be drawn from but not limited to: peer reviewed journals, periodicals, and newspaper articles.
