Annotated Bibliography Instructions:

In a new Word document, create an Annotated Bibliography. Do some independent research and find three (3) sources to include in your Annotated Bibliography. These should be from a variety of places—try to find a mix of scholarly and popular sources. Feel free to include the source that you worked on during today’s class. Remember that you might not use all of these sources for your final draft—you might discard some of these sources, or add new ones in. At this point in your research, you should be looking at a wide variety of sources and seeking to absorb as much information as possible about your issue.

Your Annotated Bibliography should contain the following:

· Three (3) sources

· Each source cited in appropriate MLA formatting and in alphabetical order by the first letter of the citation (usually the author’s last name.)

· Under each citation, you should provide a brief, 2 paragraph write up of your source. In the write up, please address the following:

· What is the source about? Summarize the source

· Does it seem reliable/credible? (Use the Evaluating Sources slides to help determine credibility of each source)

· How will you/might you use this source in your own argumentative paper?
