The purpose of the annotated bibliography is twofold: first, it helps you develop what will ultimately be your works cited page, and two, it helps you get prepared to write your final research paper. Using all five of your required sources for the final research paper, create an annotated bibliography summarizing each source and how you plan on incorporating the information from each source into your paper. At least three of your five sources should come from  scholarly journal articles found on a library database. Each annotation should be between 100 and 150 words. To see what your annotated bibliography should look like, view the Annotated Bibliography Sample document in the Annotated Bibliography folder located in the Course Documents section of Blackboard.
