Find Two Appropriate Non-Scholarly Sources Using a Search Engine such as Google or Bing Locate the search terms you developed in Week 3. Use them and a search engine (like Google or Bing) to find two non-scholarly sources that address your research question. In order to be appropriate, these sources must pass the CRAAP test. The non-scholarly source may be any of these types of sources: A newspaper or magazine article (not an editorial). An article from a professional organization website or trade journal (e.g., science, medical, etc.). An article or report from a .gov website. A blog post written by an expert on the topic. The non-scholarly source may not be A book or book chapter. A scholarly article. A reference source (e.g., encyclopedia, almanac, dictionary). Be sure to copy and record the URL (web address) of the non-scholarly sources that you choose so you can include it in your reference. Create APA References for the Two Non-Scholarly Sources Remember what you learned about how to format references in the APA Skill Check on creating references. Then, create the APA references for both sources in the All Sources Annotated Bibliography template. Check your references using the Ashford Writing Center’s Formatting Your References List (Links to an external site.) to ensure they are correct. Also, you may view the Week 5 Annotated Bibliography Example to review correct format. Write Annotations for the Two Non-Scholarly Sources Now, you will write annotation for the two sources. The annotations must be in your own words, two paragraphs long, and address the points below. Provide brief descriptions, explanations or examples to support your answers. Paragraph

How current is the information in the source relative to your research question? How credible and authoritative is the source for your research question? What limitations, if any, did you note in the source? How does the source help answer your research question? Include references and annotations for sources from Week 3 Review the feedback from your instructor on your Week 3 Assignment. Make any revisions or corrections you think will improve your submission. Insert the revised references and annotations into the appropriate sections of your All Sources Annotated Bibliography template. Develop a Thesis Statement Based on Your Research Question Use the Turning Your Research Question into a Thesis Statement worksheet to help create your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should summarize the conclusions you came to after researching your topic and be no more than two sentences long.
