Annotated Bibliography

Write as a freshman in college style and Use 4 sources

Use this topic

Should the U.S. government forgive federal student loan debt for low-income borrowers?

I would choose this topic because it focuses on a specific group of people, making it more detailed and easier to analyze both sides clearly. It is also a highly relevant issue that affects many students financially, which makes it meaningful to research and discuss in a balanced way.

This week, you will submit an annotated bibliography.

Your annotated bibliography consists of four annotated sources; two for each side of the debatable topic. For each source, include:

● An APA style formatted entry for each source ● A summary: What is the main message of this source? ● Evaluation: Why is this a credible source? Why is this author credible? ● Relevance: How will this source contribute to your research? ● Quote: Write down a quote from this source that you plan to use in your

informative paper.
