Annotated Bibliography

In addition to your paper, you need to turn in an Annotated Bibliography. This is formatted like your Works Cited page (I would cut and paste your Works Cited Page, then add the annotations for this assignment).

Underneath each outside source (not the film) you need an indented paragraph that gives some info about the source. 

Annotations

An Annotation is not quite a summary and not quite an abstract. Short Annotations, like I am asking for here are no more than 5 sentences, and probably only 3.

  1. Describe the main point of the article in one sentence
  2. If the article is especially important, reveal why (key report used by others, main work in the field, important researcher, big reveal?)
  3. Point out the most important thing about the article
  4. State why the article was important to your paper
  5. Describe any problems with the article (missing data, flaw in research methods, bias, outdated?)

 

Write in brief sentences. You can avoid constantly repeating “This article” or the author’s name by starting a couple sentences at the verb:

EX: Discusses a fundamental flaw in previous research: the effect of ground water pollution on the agricultural economy.

An annotation does not try to prove anything.

A short annotation does NOT use quotations.
