Week 3 Annotated Bibliography

Directions: To start your Annotated Bibliography, write an introductory paragraph to gain the attention of your reader and set the context for your research. Start with the attention-grabbing idea, such as an anecdote or fact about your topic. Provide your working thesis statement that answers your research question and provides the direction of your argument. Make corrections to your working thesis based on feedback from your Proposal assignment. The annotated bibliography will include five annotated references and is to include a summary paragraph that summarizes the source and the author’s main points and relevance to your research, and the credibility, reliability and timeliness of the source material.

Summary:

Start the summary by stating the main points of the article here. Provide a high-level summary of the author’s main points and assess the credibility, reliability, and timeliness of the source.

Next, add your analysis: How will you use the source? Does it define or explain the problem or issue? Support or contrast your thesis? Identify the section of your project where you could include source. Be specific about where this source is used and which ideas it will help to prove. Do not copy and paste anything; instead, summarize ideas using your own words. Explain specifically the type of support that the source will provide and where it can be used in your project.

Add the remaining entries to meet the minimum assignment requirements.
