To create the Annotated Bibliography:
Find 4 sources from the library database or Internet that pertain to your topic. You can find sources on the literature or on empathy. These sources should be academic sources, or online sources written by academics (such as essays from Aeon, The New Yorker, The Economist, or The Atlantic). Blogs, personal websites, popular media, and news sites are NOT acceptable sources.
Compose an annotated bibliography following MLA format. Your bibliography should have two parts: an introduction and the bibliography itself.
The Introduction should be around 300 words and it should discuss what you plan to write about in your essay. DO NOT use quotations, just share your plans in your own words.
The Annotated Bibliography should follow MLA. Each of the four entries should be two paragraphs. The first paragraph should be a summary that follows our four-part summary format. It should NOT contain quotes and should be done completely in your own words. In a second paragraph explain in 150 or so words why this source is relevant. Here, too you should NOT use quotes.
