Homework annotated bibliography 10/24

  1. What is an annotated bibliography?
  2. Why am I requiring you to write one in this class?

Annotated bibliography is a list of books, articles, websites or periodicals with notes. They contain three things, a citation, a summery and a annotation. The summary s just one to two sentences about what it ia about. The annotation tells why the source is great and how it will tie into your final project. The annotation contants a summary, access or evaluate the source, then reflect on how the source ties into your research paper. An annotated bibliography helps us gather information about our sources and it also helps future researchers learn information about sources. 

I think the main reason you are having us write a annotated bibliography for class is so that we actually look and the sources and become more familiar with the sources before a couple of days before the research paper is due. Another reason is it is probably a lot easier to write a research paper after you already have all the info in the annotated bibliography. Then it would basically just be transferring information.
