Develop an Annotated Bibliography

Instructions
This week, you will research articles, summarize and critique articles or books, and then write an annotated bibliography of seven sources. Using your knowledge from this week's reading and research, develop a well-formatted summary of each author's work. Some sources may be longer than others. A paragraph is sufficient as long as you have covered the content. Usually, two or three paragraphs are needed. However, this is a summary that can be quickly scanned to understand the points of the content.   Assignment Instructions: 1. Develop an annotated bibliography in the correct format adding seven articles. 2. Include the main points of the article and what the author is conveying to the reader. 3. Each article review should be two to three paragraphs plus your conclusion. 4. Include a title page and reference page. Length:  8 pages , not including title and ref pages References:  Include a minimum of 7 scholarly resources. Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University's Academic Integrity Policy.

Conducting an Annotated Bibliography

This week, you will read, research, and learn what an annotated bibliography is and how to write one. Basically, an annotated bibliography is an ongoing document of summaries for your articles, books, websites, and other content that you have found on a particular topic. These summaries can help you to organize the content you may use in the literature review.

There is an accepted format for an annotated bibliography. You will see this through your own research. The title, author, publisher, and APA citing of the source is the heading for this article. Center this entire heading. Then, a few paragraphs are written to summarize what you learned about the article or topic.

Additional information focuses on why the article was written, or what is the point of the content. Does the content cover additional topics? Then, you will give your opinion of the article or content by critiquing it. For example, what points do you agree with and what objections do you see? Include other writings that may be similar and how you observed this parallel of the topic by this author. Finally, provide your point of view on the content and why.

Typically, each bibliography is one page or less. It can also be only a paragraph depending on what the content tells you.  It is organized to show your research on a topic in a condensed format. There are various types of annotated bibliographies, depending on the purpose of the task. This type of annotated bibliography is known as an informative bibliography.

Be sure to review this week's resources carefully.  You are expected to apply the information from these resources when you prepare your assignments.
