Assignment: annotated bibliography

An important part of the concept analysis is the review of articles related to the concept you will focus on. An annotated bibliography is a method you can use to summarize and assess the articles that you plan to use for your concept analysis paper.

Grief is the concept of focus in Week 2. You are required to write an annotated bibliography of two articles related to grief. One article must have an empirical referent of grief. For example, your required reading, Martincekova, L. & Klatt, J. (2017). Mothers' grief, forgiveness, and posttraumatic growth after the loss of a child (PDF). OMEGA-Journal of Death and Dying, 75(3), 248-265 contains three empirical referents-the Texas Revised Inventory of Grief, the Enright Forgiveness Inventory, and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory.

Paper Instructions

I. You will write an annotated bibliography (summary and assessment) of two articles related to the concept of grief. The annotated bibliography of each article should be two to three paragraphs long. The Purdue OWL Annotated Bibliographies website contains a useful guide to writing annotated bibliographies. The Purdue OWL Annotated Bibliographies Samples provides annotated bibliography examples. You should follow these suggestions related to summarizing and assessing articles:

1. Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations determine the degree of detail of your summary.

2. Assess: Is it a useful source?

II. You need to write your annotated bibliography in your own words. Do not use the abstract of an article as your annotated bibliography.
