- List of 7 sources (scholarly or professional sources) for annotated bibliography.
- Sources should be published between 2000 - PRESENT.
- One complete (sample) annotation.
- Revised research question.
- Rough draft of Annotated Bibliography for Rough Draft Workshop.

- The final annotated bibliography and topic history should build towards the final research project.
- Each annotation should be 1 - 2 paragraphs.

Summary and Assessment
The summary section of the annotated bibliography is self-explanatory. What is the article or chapter about (in you own words)? There should be NO quotations in a summary - it's your version of someone else's idea.
- Summaries should state the main points and final conclusion of the author's argument.
The assessment is your evaluation of the text: is it good or bad? Why? Assessments should grow as you read and realize which articles are stronger or clearer than others. Think about:
- What evidence does the author uses to support a point?
- Where does the evidence come from (one source, multiple sources)?
- How clear is the argument?
- How persuasive is the argument?
The reflection is why and how the text is useful to YOUR specific research.
