Annotated Bibliographies Directions 

     The next step in your research projects is to prepare TWO annotated bibliographies MLA 8 style.  You should compile this as one document, though each bibliography should begin on a new page.

     Annotations will generally be about a paragraph in length (although they can be longer).

     This will probably be a 3-5 page document, mostly due to use of double spacing and hanging indentations.

 

Minimum requirements for the secondary sources bibliography:

  • List and annotate at least ten scholarly sources that are relevant to your topic.
  • Use MLA style for bibliographic entries and other page formatting concerns.
  • FOR EACH SOURCE, write an annotation that does EACH of the following:
    1. Explain why your think the source is scholarly.
    2. Discuss how the source is relevant to your topic.
    3. Summarize the main idea(s) of the source.
  • Additionally, annotations might also:
    1. Discuss how the source is useful to you.
    2. Provide one or more quotes or paraphrases from the source as examples of what the source says.
    3. Discuss what conversation the source is responding to.

 Annotations will generally be about a paragraph in length (although they can be longer).

 

Minimum requirements for the primary sources bibliography:

  • List and annotate at least threeprimary sources that are relevant to your topic.
  • Use MLA style for bibliographic entries and other page formatting concerns.
  • FOR EACH SOURCE, write an annotation that does EACH of the following:
    1. In your own words, summarize the content of the primary source.
    2. Discuss how the source is relevant to your topic.
  • Additionally, annotations might also:
    1. Discuss how the source is useful to you.
