Annotated Bibliography
In an annotated bibliography, you follow each of your reference citations with a brief (100 words or less) qualification of the author (including their relevance to the subject); intended audience; how the source compares/contrasts with your other sources; how this source furthers the discussion of the selected topic.
This week’s assignment will be included in your rough draft (due in week 6).

How this source relates or contrasts to at least one of our other sources
How this source helps to further your discussion of the topic
