You will need five sources for your annotated bibliography.
WHAT IS AN
ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY?
An annotated
bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each
citation is followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the
annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the
relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
THE PROCESS
-Creating an
annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual
skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.
-First, locate
and record citations to books, Periodicals, and documents that may contain
useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the
actual items. --Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives
on your topic.
-Cite the book,
article, or document using the appropriate style.
-Write a concise
annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article.
Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of
the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this
work with another you have cited, or
(d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.
