Annotated Bibliography

Your assignment is to prepare an annotated bibliography using APA  documentation style. The assignment has two parts: the list of sources  and the annotation for each source.

The list of sources must contain:

1. The subject of your research, which you must state at the top of the page.
2. Seven sources of information about your subject, including:
   1. At least two articles from one or more databases in the Hunt Library
   2. At least one scholarly article.
3. All sources correctly documented in APA style.
4. The entire references list correctly formatted in APA style.

Special note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable source for scholarly work. Do not use Wikipedia as a source for this or any academic assignment.

The annotation for each source must contain:

1. A short summary (1-3 sentences) of the information found in the source.
2. An evaluation of the source's credibility, reliability, currency,  possible bias, and usefulness with respect to your topic (2-3  sentences). 

This assignment cannot be revised. You are expected to use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association to ensure your documentation is correct. If you have any questions, please contact your instructor for guidance.

Example

Review the following example. The words in italics (summary and evaluation) do not need to be in your work; they are here just for the clarity of the example.

      The authors discuss how homeschooling, by using the trivium method  of education, can make children well-rounded. This method involves, in  part, teaching grammar, logic and rhetoric at different stages  The authors provide a plethora of information for anyone considering  homeschooling, including suggested curricula, information on support  groups and online resources (summary).  This is a credible  source written by two long-time educators with experience  in homeschooling.  This is a useful source for readers wanting  to understand the benefits of homeschooling and the process to get  started (evaluation).
