Annotation = a paragraph explaining what the source is, what it is about, and how it will use it to answer your research question.

Look at the main argument & supporting evidence in the articles when writing your annotations. It will help you fill out the details of your paper outline later!

So, what does it look like???

The bibliographic information:

  • be consistent with your format
  • (Purdue Owl has great examples)

The annotations:

  • write your annotations in paragraph form, making them 3-7 sentences long

Helpful hints:

Do your annotations as you read the article: take notes, highlight, underline, write in the margins, spill coffee on--(but not in library books, please)

+

The citations (using correct formatting) of the sources you used.

Writing an Annotated Bibliography

Summarize, Assess and Reflect

Summarize

  • What are the important points?
  • What is the resource about?

Assess

  • Is it useful, reliable, biased/ objective?
  • What is the author's goal?

Reflect

  • How is it relevant to your research?
  • How does it relate to your topic?
