Description
In Week 7, you chose a topic research topic and formed a research question. You will use this research question to complete this assignment, where your goal is to create an annotation for a source in APA Style. See this page from Purdue OWL for information on Annotated Bibliographies.
There is an excellent example of APA Style Annotation format (Links to an external site.) by the Excelsior OWL (scroll down on web page for the APA example). Your annotation will be in one document, typed, double-spaced, 12 pt. font
Instead of submitting an entire bibliography of multiple sources, you will submit an annotation for one source. Your Annotation will be built on one of the three sources you submitted during Weeks 10, 11, and 12. You will make edits to one of these sources, add some additional information, and format everything according to APA Style. See this page for additional details.
Include the following information for the annotation:
- Provide a correct APA citation for your source.
- Summarize the content of the source in at least 100 words. Discuss the author(s)' thesis and conclusions, if applicable, to provide a good picture of the content. (first paragraph)
- Evaluate the source in a paragraph (with sentences) using the information you submitted for the Find A Source And Evaluate It assignment (based on the CAARP evaluation method). (second paragraph)
- Reflect on the source: (third paragraph)
- Did you enjoy the information from the source? Why or why not?
- Was the source particularly helpful or interesting, or exciting? Why or why not?
- Will you include this source in your research? Why or why not? How would you use this information?
(Don't just say: "It talks about my topic." Instead, tell me why you choose this particular source. What does it add to your existing research, or to your ideas on your topic? Does it give a good background? Does it show a need for further research? Think about your source and why you chose it, and write those details here.)
