For this assignment you must find a minimum of four acceptable sources. Do not limit your sources unnecessarily. If you find more than four sources, feel free to include them. When writing your annotated bibliography, you should follow these steps:
- When you have several sources, you will need to write a correct MLA Works Cited entry for each source.
- Start with your first source in alphabetical order. Type the works cited entry for the source in the proper format with all of the necessary information and then begin your annotation.
- The first part of the annotation should be a brief summary of the source based upon the thesis, main ideas, and key terms. What is the main argument?
- The second part of the annotation should be an assessment of the source, discussing its suitability as an academic source and its applicability to your research and project. Consider the author’s purpose and reliability, including some information about who the author is and why he or she is reputable. You may wish to discuss how the source relates to some of your other sources. Is the source objective or biased? Is it useful?
- The last part of the annotation will be your reflection on the source. Consider how it fits in with your research. How helpful is the source? How do you see it fitting in with your project? How has it informed or otherwise changed or shaped your ideas?
