WHY: An annotated bibliography guides the reading, evaluating, and sorting of sources planned for use

in a research paper. It also gives practice using APA citation format, and demonstrates quality of

research undertaken, while strengthening a writer’s ability to analyze and evaluate main ideas,

supporting evidence, and conclusions in a variety of texts.
