By forcing you to evaluate each of your potentialsources carefully, the annotated bibliography helps you determine if infact the source you chose is credible and helps you determine howrelevant it is to your topic and understand the topic better which willhelp you develop your presentation.For this project, you will assess three sources to include:1) a complete citation for each source,2) a summary of each source, and3) an evaluation of each source. Three sources are required for this assignment (i.e., you are to write an annotation for each source). However, you must use five or more sources in your final presentation. Use this TEMPLATE to summarize and evaluate each of your three sources.Citation: Written in APA reference list format.
