Project Assignment 2: Annotated Bibliography 
 The objective of this assignment is for you to more closely examine your research topic by gathering resources and creating an annotated bibliography. A bibliography is a list of citations to resources such as books and articles. An annotated bibliography not only lists each of the sources but describes or evaluates them. These descriptions and evaluations are called annotations.  
 Using library resources, locate ten high-quality sources related to your topic. At least eight of them must be peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles. For each article, create a list of citations using a style of your choice.1 Then write a paragraph (of 120 - 150 words) that summarizes, evaluates, and reflects on the source.  At the top of the first page of your essay, write down your research question.  - Here is a wonderful resource regarding summarizing and evaluating sources. The next three bullet points are from the source. - 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?  - Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source? - Reflect: Once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic? - Some samples of annotated bibliography are found here.
