Title: Annotated Bibliography for Research Paper on [Topic]

Annotated Bibliography
The annotated bibliography consists of two main parts:
(1)     the citation, which is a record of the source, formatted in the appropriate style (MLA), and
(2)     the annotation, which comes after each citation. 
The annotation is a brief summary of the source that can:  
(1)     assess the source’s strengths and weaknesses,
(2)     outline the source’s main arguments,
(3)     provide relevant background information about the author,
(4)     describe how the source is relevant to your topic.
Each summary should be 100-150 words in length and should do one or more of the four things listed above.
Your completed annotated bibliography should consist of 15-18 citations.
You can use your annotated bibliography as a reference tool for tracking all the sources you’ll want to use in your paper.  In writing your paper, however, you will probably use fewer (seven minimum) of the sources listed.
