Annotated Bibliography (on-going assignment) Word Count: 150 – 300 words for each source Task Over the course of the semester, you will create an annotated bibliography based on your topic. The purpose of this assignment is to gather and analyze a central list of sources someone could read to learn about your issue. The annotated bibliography works as a key element of any researcher’s workflow. It allows you to track, record, and critically reflect on your sources. By the end of the semester you will have curated 10-12 sources that you think are essential reading for your topic. Annotations For each submission (roughly every two weeks), you will write annotations for two sources. You will need to provide the citation for your source, summarize its main points, explain its usefulness to your project, and briefly explain why someone should read it. Your annotation should range between 150 – 300 words. You can find some example annotations under the resource section. Sources You can cite your sources in either APA or MLA format (be consistent), as well as provide hyperlinks if possible. Feel free to use a citation generator, but always review it for proper formatting. You should carefully evaluate your sources to make sure they are credible, and they contribute significantly to your topic. Aim for a variety of popular new sources and academic sources.

You will receive points each time you submit two entries, which will be worth 10% of your overall grade. You will submit a final, revised version at the end of the semester for an essay grade.
