An Annotated Bibliography is a list of sources, formatted in MLA, APA, or Chicago style, where each source is followed by a paragraph that talks about the source. This paragraph is the "annotation" for that article.
In your annotations, provide a brief description and an evaluation of the source. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Other things an annotation should include:
The annotation must be written in your own words. This is a great exercise to assess if you understood what you read. What did you learn and process from the material? It will also help you avoid plagiarizing the information.
