annotated biblography

COMPLETE DIRECTIONS ATTACHED

Use the Chicago-style sheet as your guide. 

First, summarize the source, including the source’s thesis, key points, and the most significant detail or evidence supporting those points. If someone asked what this document was about, what would you say? What is the purpose of the document? What topics are covered? What are the main arguments?

Second, evaluate the source. Think about why did the author create the document and why was it written for and why?

Do not merely copy the author’s words—that’s plagiarism and it defeats the entire point of an annotated bibliography. Rewrite each source’s information entirely in your own words so that you will remember it and so that others can know if it is a source they should consult.

“An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, (who, what, when, where, and why/historical context) the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.”

Annotated Bibliography use documents atteached to read from below and complete assignment as explained and as the handout example shows.  Do not use any other documents or research any other documents.
