annotated bibliography

Instructions

Now that you have selected a topic for your final presentation, this week you will need to construct your annotated bibliography using APA style. For this assignment, you need to select a minimum of 8 sources that you plan on using for your presentation and then construct the annotations for each source. The concept of constructing a bibliography is certainly not new for most students, but you may not be as comfortable adding annotations to the bibliography entries.

After you select a source and reference it in APA format, construct the annotation for the source. The annotation is really just answering a few questions about the sources itself and once you answer these questions this part of the assignment almost creates itself. Answer the following 6 questions for each source:

Main purpose of the source

Intended audience for the source

Relevance to your topic (or explain why it was not relevant to your topic)

Author’s background and credibility

Author’s conclusions or observations

Your conclusions or observations

Writing Requirements (APA format)

Length: 3-5 pages (not including title page or references page)

1-inch margins

Double spaced

12-point Times New Roman font

Title page

References page (minimum of 8 scholarly sources)
