Annotated Bibliography for the Persuasive Research Paper
This week you’ll create an Annotated Bibliography in which you summarize, evaluate, and reflect on 3 sources for your persuasive research paper.
Begin by reading the OWL Resource on Annotated BibliographiesLinks to an external site.. You may also want to examine the related OWL resources, “Annotated Bibliography Breakdown,” and Annotated Bibliography Samples,” both of which are linked on the page above. These offer useful examples.
Create your Annotated Bibliography by providing the following for each source:
-
- A full APA Reference citation for the source
- A summary of the source (1-2 paragraphs)
- An evaluation of the source (2-3 paragraphs)
-
-
- Is the article recent and the information current?
- Is the author qualified to write about this topic? Why?
- Are the facts presented in the source reliable? Why?
-
-
-
- Is the language objective or emotional? Provide a quote which supports your claim.
-
4. A reflection on the source:
-
-
- How does this source fit into your research?
- How do you think you will use this source in your paper?
- What challenges do you foresee in using this source effectively?
-
Your document should be in APA format:
- 12pt, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, double spaced
