The final draft of the annotated bibliography should contain all of your sources for the project. Here are the project requirements again, in case you’ve forgotten:
Information and Misinformation: Annotated Bibliography Project
You have chosen to research a controversial social issue this semester. This is the issue you proposed at the beginning of class.
For this project, you are going to write an annotated bibliography. You have already taken a quiz covering the purpose and format of an annotated bibliography.
You will need to narrow your topic to something specific. A topic such as climate change should be narrowed down into something such as alternative energy sources, alternative forms of transportation, and the effect of climate change on the US economy.
You will need to read these instructions more than once and follow them carefully
Here is information you need to complete this assignment:
1. An annotated bibliography consists of citations and annotations, so you need both.
The citation is the information about the source, and you should use MLA format for it. For a guide on MLA citations, see this page from OWL Purdue. (Links to an external site.)
The annotation is a paragraph about the citation. Here is what you should have in each annotation.
1-3 sentences that summarize the main argument or idea of the source and how the author supports this idea.
5-7 sentences that evaluate the credibility of the source using the CRAAP test. You should have one sentence about C,R,A,A, and P (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose). Use this handout to remind you of what to write for each element.
