Your annotated bibliography should include 5 academic sources.

More than summaries, each entry should demonstrate your critical awareness of the sources related to the topic and their various connections. Consider the following 3 Cs:

Content: Provide a thorough summary of the source, including information about the author(s), the main points and/or the hypothesis or purpose of the study, the methods and data used, and the findings and implications.

Comparison: Point out the comparisons and contradictions between and among sourcesthat is, what a source is saying or not saying about a particular topic and how it relates to other research sources youve found. Doing so demonstrates you know and can enter scholarly and scientific conversations, and it will position this source within those conversations.

Commentary: Comment on the usefulness of each source to your particular topic and how it will help you communicate your ideas to a larger audience. For example, does it support or counter your argument and how so? does it provide background information? present useful data? offer new insights or a different perspective?
