  1. Annotated Bibliography The Research Paper

  2. Bibliography is the list of citations for sources one has used to research a topic. • An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation. • Therefore, an annotated bibliography is an organized list of sources, each of which is followed by a brief annotation.

  3. Why should I write an annotated bibliography? • You're forced to read each source more carefully. • You begin to read more critically instead of just collecting information. • Gain a good perspective on what is being said about your topic. • By reading and responding to a variety of sources on a topic, you'll start to see what the issues are, what people are arguing about, and you'll then be able to develop your own point of view.

  4. Annotations • Your annotated bibliography must do the following two things for each source used: • Summarize • Evaluate

  5. Summary • Include the main points of the source. Prompting questions: • What are the main arguments? • What is the point of this book or article? • What topics are covered? • If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?

  6. Connection to Thesis • Reflect: Once you've summarized a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Prompting Questions: • How does it help you shape your argument? • How does this source support your thesis? • What argument does this source provide? • Has it changed how you think about your topic?

  7. Format • Citation: The bibliographic information of the source (the title, author, publisher, date, etc.) is written in MLA format and appears first. • Refer to www.easybib.com for formating • All citations must be in alphabetical order • Must be formatted as “hanging” • Double Space • The annotations: The annotations for each source are written in paragraph form.

  9. Annotated Bibliography • English, Joe. “Capital Punishment versus Life in Prison.” The Robesonian 24 May 2007: C3. Joe English, author of the article, “Capital Punishment versus Life in Prison,” clarifies several misconceptions about the use of the death penalty from state to state. One misconception is that capital punishment is less effective than life sentences. English gives several examples of how this is faulty logic. His most compelling example is his comparison of the use of capital punishment in Washington to the use of life sentences in Utah. English indicates that the death penalty is an effective deterrent of heinous crime when comparing states that use the death penalty versus those states that do not.This article is primarily directed to those audiences who have been promoting the use of life sentences as opposed to the death penalty. I used this article as evidence to demonstrate that I am of the death penalty because it deters crime. This demonstrates the writer’s comprehension & summary of source. (3-5 sentences) Your personal reflection on the source (2-3 sentences) Your assessment of the source (1-2 sentences)
