Select three of the 10 references from your Reference List assignment. Create an annotated bibliography for each of the three references.
Each annotation must have 150-200 words, making a total of 450-600 words for the entire assignment. Each annotation should have the following elements:
APA style reference of the article being annotated
A paraphrased summary of the article (See note on paraphrasing below.)
An assessment of why it is a scholarly reference
A reflection on how it is applicable to your research
Note: Go to the Student Success Center and search key words "Preparing Annotated Bibliographies" for help with this assignment.
Follow these steps for all three references you chose.
Note on Paraphrasing: Paraphrasing the ideas of others is a requirement in academic writing and graduate study. Paraphrasing is using your own words to restate ideas or information from a source material. As you write each annotation use the following paraphrasing guidelines.
There are three main steps to paraphrasing:
Identify the original idea(s) in the article.
Identify general points regarding the idea(s).
Summarize the general points of the article in your own words (paraphrase).
