- Why did you select this topic? What is it important? What are your goals?

Annotated bibliography

-You must have exactly 8 sources (you may have more for your final due at the end of the semester).

Sources are in alphabetical order. Do NOT number your sources. Bibliographic information uses hanging

indents (all lines after the first are indented). Each source will have:

1. Bibliographic information (author’s last names, titles, etc…) and will use hanging indents

2. 3-4 sentence summary

3. 1-2 sentence plan-of-use

You need to vary your sources (have at least 3 different types of sources). You may consider finding

sources for opposition now. This is not a requirement for this project, but it will be a requirement for

your final research paper in this class.

All bibliographic material needs to use hanging indents – all lines after the first are indented. In Word,

highlight the bibliographic information and press CTRL (for a PC) or COMMAND (for a Mac) and the

letter “T” simultaneously. If you are using something outside of Word, Google search how to create

Hanging Indents in that program.

Remember: make sure that you keep ALL of my comments in when you submit your final version via

email.
