An annotated bibliography provides you the opportunity to evaluate the sources you plan to use for your final research project. This bibliography contains the following two components:

• References (sources)

• Brief written evaluation (summary) of each source

Note: Your annotated bibliography must be properly formatted using APA guidelines.

Your annotated bibliography must contain the following items:

• A completed thesis statement, which connects or aligns with your selected references (sources).
• A short paragraph that evaluates/summarizes each of your references. When evaluating and selecting your references, consider the following questions:
• Are the author's sources credible for your topic?
• Is the information in the article useful? Why or why not?
• How are you going to use the information in the article to increase the effectiveness of your paper?

HINT: Be specific in how you plan to use the information and what information you plan to use.
