It can include: • a summary of the reading, • the reader’s response to the reading, • and/or questions/comments addressing the article’s clarity, purpose, or effectiveness.

What is an Annotated Bibliography? An Annotated Bibliography is a list of bibliographic sources that includes a descriptive and an evaluative paragraph of each source. Its overall purpose is to support your study of a particular subject by providing a collection of article summaries that will negate the need for rereading of an article.

Mr. Moataz (50106686)

Where do I start? • Begin by critically reading the article. View the reading as an interactive process in which your interpretation of author’s words is influenced by your own knowledge and experiences. • Critical readers attempt to dialogue with the text by asking tough questions on the article’s purpose, audience, language and content.

Questions to ask about an article • Who is the author? His/her credentials? biases? • Where is the article published? What type of journal /source is it? (journal article / blog post / book, etc.) What is the audience? • Audience (general public / trade professionals / educators, etc. • What do I know about the topic? Am I open to new ideas? • Why was the article written? What is its purpose? • What is the author’s thesis? The major supporting points or assertions?

Mr. Moataz (50106686)

Questions to ask about an article • Did the author support his/her thesis/assertions? • Did the article achieve its purpose? purpose (consumer information / academic article / trade and/or marketing, etc.) • Was the article organized? • Were the supporting sources credible? • Did the article change my viewpoint on the topic? • Was the article convincing? What new information or ideas do I accept or reject?

Sample 1 The article by Pilita Clark, editor and business columnist at the Financial Times, discusses a

growing trend in work environments across the world towards extending the weekend span. The text is based on extensive research, the findings of which point at a real probability that all future economies will follow the new pattern of business running. The main reason is that while current managements remain rather cautious about the concept, the young generation of bosses is strongly in favor of working less. We still have little knowledge of whether limited working time translates to productivity rates, yet, according to Clark, progress is jeopardized if we continue exhausting high-paced technology-driven lifestyle. The biggest strengths of the article are its relevance and credibility. The cited studies are as recent as 2022, and they provide solid statistical evidence on how (un)enthusiastically smaller and larger companies in the UK have been responding to the novelty. These results can successfully support an argument that launching the four-day working week incorporates risks not everybody is ready to take. Unfortunately, the research presented by Pilita Clark is narrowed to the UK only, so the big picture remains unclear despite a few international organizations mentioned at the start. Still, the flow of ideas and the language of the text make it a student-friendly source, which I can effectively use in my argumentative paper, especially to demonstrate the differences in perceptions between the young and old business executives.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

Wingo, K. (2020, October 27). The Power Paradigm: Four Ways Leaders Inspire Greatness. Forbes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ellevate/2020/10/27/the-power-paradigm-four- ways-leaders- inspire-greatness/?sh=7c5112385831

In this article, Kelli Wingo, the founder of a leadership development company, discusses four methods leaders can foster prominence. She emphasizes the importance of leaders expressing genuine consideration for others’ hardships and accomplishments. Leaders also recognize that their success correlates to that of others; the two are not mutually exclusive; therefore, leaders must also inform people of their value. Moreover, as a leader, one must admit any shortcomings and strive to resolve them, as this illustrates that even those in positions of authority face challenges. Finally, according to the author, everyone has potential; a leader must have faith in others regardless of their differences and recognize the value of having a diverse set of beliefs. Wingo’s article contains information relevant to the subject of leadership, and it would be helpful in any future work. Furthermore, the material is recent and provides relevant details. The author seems to have a thorough understanding of what makes a successful leader, which may be based on personal experience. Throughout the article, she maintains a self-assured and confident tone, which contributes to her credibility. On the contrary, the article provides few scholarly references to back up its claims, making the information mostly rely on personal judgments.
