An annotated bibliography demonstrates your ability to read and critically examine articles, books, and other sources of information for their usefulness in relation to the assignment you are completing.
As you may have noticed, not every article you read will be helpful in the writing of your essay. You have to weed out the texts that do not further your research and focus on the texts you will be able to incorporate into your writing.
You are being asked to choose two sources you will use in annotated bibliography.
The first paragraph should include a summary of the article and an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses.
The second paragraph should have an explanation of why you chose that article and how it helps to support your research (tell you reader why this article is helpful to you).
