Homework 10/29

After watching the video I have come to realize that annotated bibliographies are much like a works cited page. Annotated bibliographies consist of a summary citation and annotations. This can be a list of books, journals, databases, and pictures. They all must be cited correctly. The summary includes a brief statement about the source used and how it relates to the topic. . The citation should be formatted properly to exclude plagiarism. Annotations include a note made when reading a source. An annotated bibliography not only gives the writer some insight on his/her topic and sources, but also gives the reader some insight on your topic before reading your paper. An annotated bibliography must be written in APA or MLA format. I feel the reason we are required to do an annotated bibliography is not only for our research paper, but to get some practice for future classes that may require one for a research paper. Annotated bibliographies are a great tool to determine if our source is beneficial to our research paper or not.
