Annotated Bib Guidelines:
When writing an annotated bibliography, try to include the following information for each source while also keeping your entries concise. Aim for 200-300 words per entry.
Summarize: What are the main arguments? What is the overall point of the work? What topics are covered? Although you are covering a great deal of information, such summaries need to be brief.
Evaluate: Was it helpful to your research? Is the source a strong or weak source of information? Is it biased? Are there errors?
Reflect: Is the source helpful? Did it shape your thinking, or provide material for your argument?
A note on format: The MLA-formatted citation should lead each entry. The annotation should be double spaced, and a space should be left between the end of an annotation and the next entry (this is my own preference, not necessarily MLA format). Your last name and the page number should appear in the upper right corner.
