Instructions: The elements of this assignment are:
I. Critically examine at least 3 credible, scholarly sources and include them in your annotated bibliography.
II. Discuss for each source why it is timely, credible and scholarly (part of that is why the author is credible).
III. Discuss how each source relates to your paper and why you are using it. There is no minimum word count on this assignment, just be sure to cover the 3 areas above for each of your sources. If you would like to do more than 3 that is fine but 3 is the minimum.
Use APA or MLA formatting. As you examine at least 3 sources, keep in mind this is NOT just a list of references. Be sure to address the above objectives for each of your references. That means you would list each reference in APA or MLA format and then immediately follow the reference with your annotation (which addresses the objectives). Double-space both your reference and the annotated discussion. The first reference and its annotation would be followed by the next reference and its annotation, etc. Remember a minimum of 3 annotated sources is required.
It would be useful to review the annotated bibliography material at the Purdue University OWL (On-line Writing Lab) at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/. This would also be a helpful resource for checking your MLA or APA formatting.
