Assignment: Introduction: One of the more useful tools in conducting research is the annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography combines the citations found in the References list at the end of documents in APA format with annotations about each of the sources. For this assignment, you will construct an annotated bibliography based upon the topic you have selected to focus on for the class.

Activity Instructions

Your annotated bibliography will consist of six sources that you have deemed relevant to your topic and/or question(s) of inquiry. While you may encounter sources that are not relevant or do not fit the scope of your project while researching, for the purposes of this assignment, you will only include the ones that you will be citing in your final paper. You may want to look at the OWL link above for examples. Also, you can use the same references as you used previously in the literature review but adapt them to the annotated bibliography.

Steps:

1. Cite the source in proper APA format. The citations should be organized in alphabetical order by author just as in an APA References page.

2. Follow with a brief annotation that summarizes the source (approx. 4-5 sentences). You may quote from the source, but do not copy and paste the abstract. Ideally, all of the annotation should be in your own words.

3. In 1 or 2 sentences, explain the source's relevance and importance to your issue.
