• Your research selections should seek to either deep dive into your topic generally (depth), or to address many angles of your topic choice (breadth).
• Select 6 resources that you will annotate. These should not be the first 6 sources you come across, but should be the resources that provide depth or breadth and a variety of perspectives, case examples, etc.

• INTRODUCTION: Write a brief introduction (2-3 sentences) noting your topic choice
• ANNOTATIONS: For each source please include the following:

1. Complete bibliographic citation (this is an interdisciplinary course, so I am not picky on citation styles. Please choose MLA, APA, or other familiar citation style and just stick to it)

2. Statement of central theme or main idea of source (a couple of sentences)

3. Summary of the content, message, or position/argument of the source. Provide an explanation of the main points. This is where you are demonstrating you have read and comprehend the source. (paragraph)
