Annotated Bibliography

An annotated bibliography are a list of resources such as books, websites, journals and other sources with added notes to each of them. The annotated bibliography can tell what the book, journal or website is about. They also consist of three parts citation, summary, and annotation. The citation consist of 1 or 2 lines and would be in APA, MLA, or any other style a teacher would require. The summary should be no more then one or two sentences it should get the basic idea of the source. The annotation would be where you put why the source is great and how it will tie in with your final project. You are requiring us to do the annotated bibliography because it forces me to do my research early and not procrastinate. It also encourages me to think about the sources I choose and complete my final project on time. The annotated bibliography will help with the project by giving us better knowledge of the topic and have us think more on what we choose as a source. It will help us not procrastinate on the project. This is a great way to make sure our research is reliable and not faulty.
