Using the information from this week's reading material, submit an Annotated Bibliography of 5 sources from your working bibliography. First, put the source in the correct citation format for your particular curricular division, and then write a brief annotation of that source. The annotation should describe the main ideas covered in the source as well as an evaluation by you for the source's usefulness for your project.

Follow the student example included below. You will use your sources, but you will build your citation based on the model that matches your source in the APUS Citation Guides. In other words, if you are using MLA citation style and you are citing a book with a single author, you will go to the APUS MLA Style Guide. You will find an example for citing a book with one author; that will be your model to follow for that entry. You will continue, finding the model that fits each source you are using.

Remember, your final paper must include a minimum of 7 sources with at least 4 sources coming from peer-reviewed journals taken from the APUS library. Please note that you are encouraged to include all 4 of your sources coming from peer-reviewed journals taken from the APUS library in this annotated bibliography.

Submit your assignment as a Word document attached to the assignment link so it can be processed on Turnitin.

Sample Annotation. Each of your entries should follow the format below. (You will find a sample annotated bibliography showing this format attached here.)

Calkins, Lucy. Raising Lifelong Learners: A Parent's Guide. Reading: Addison-Wesley

Longman. 1997. Print.

Lucy Calkins is a noted teacher and researcher in reading and writing. Her book is a guide for parents, helping them to work with their children's schools to create a positive learning environment and a lifelong love of learning in their children. Topics covered include fostering learning and curiosity in mathematics, science, social studies, reading, and writing. Calkins’ work also offers advice on school curriculum and testing. By providing specific examples of parental involvement, this book will help support my assertion that parents need to play a strong role in their children's education.
