ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY:
•A list of your citations with a short explanation of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of each source
•Annotations need a summary and an assessment for your topic (no more than two paragraphs)
•Use MLA just like the Works Cited page, and then follow your citation with your notes about the source
•Write in the third person (i.e., no “I†or “youâ€)
•Two paragraphs are sufficient—and topic sentences help
•Analyzing weaknesses will strengthen your bibliography by possibly revealing bias in your source
•Write your entries as you do research
•Alphabetize
•The author’s name is the most important for formatting
