This week, you will submit the annotated bibliographyintroduced in Week 3. This annotated bibliography will consist of sixannotations on the same topic of interest.

An annotated bibliography is a document containing selectedsources accompanied by a respective annotation. Each annotation consistsof a summary, analysis, and application for the purpose of conveyingthe relevance and value of the selected source. As such, annotationsdemonstrate a writer’s critical thinking about and authority on thetopic represented in the sources.

In preparation for your own future research, an annotatedbibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of theexisting literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful precursorfor gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequentliterature review.

    • A summary
    • An analysis
