Instructions for the
Annotated Bibliography
See assignment sheet for source breakdown!
Each entry (source) will consist of three parts:
1) The
citation. This looks JUST LIKE any
entry on a works cited.
2) The
summary. 3-5 sentences describing
what happens in the source.
3) The
evaluation. 3-5 sentences describing
the role that this source will play in creating your original thinking and
answering your questions.
Your annotated bibliography will play an important role in
the development of a focused, well rounded research project:
Benefits for a Writer
- Encourages
the researcher to choose their sources carefully and intentionally.
- Help
the researcher to build a solid body of evidence BEFORE beginning to
write.
- Supports
careful planning of a paper’s substantiation.
Benefits for a Reader
- Helps
the reader to fully integrate quotation into the overall argument.
- Gives
the reader additional information about the paper topic and piques their
interest.
- Gives
the reader a “behind the scenes tour” of the writer’s research logic.
- Provides
the reader with additional material on the topic, should they wish to
explore it further.
