Annotated Bibliography Example

But you must.

Because you need it. 

Here are the questions I'll be asking myself while grading your annotated bibliographies.

1. Does the author offer a thorough summary of the article? Are the main points addressed? Is it in their own words?

2. How does the author address the strengths and weaknesses of the article? Does it discuss the author's motives, how the claims exist in discourse?

3. How does the article relate to the author's research question? Does the author make a clear connection as to how they'll be using this to support/refute their own claims?

4. Does the author include a properly formatted works cited entry? It should be BEFORE the actual citation, as indicated in the example above.

Hope this helps, guys. Get to work on your Stage III's!

  1. So are we formatting it exactly like your example or is it double space?

  3. Hi Joanna, I'm not terribly picky about format for this assignment, but it is customary to double space. If you single space like the example, I won't deduct points. Hope this helps! .k

  4. Ahh let me caveat that. I care that your works cited entry is properly formatted (you know, with correct indention and such), but beyond that, eh.
