Sometimes instructors want you to include an “annotated bibliography.” An annotated bibliography includes three items for each source:

- your personal thoughts and insights from the source
The Citation
- Create the citation in MLA, APA, or another style that your teacher instructs you to cite in. Your teacher will tell you which style you should use.
- Write a few sentences summarizing the source. What was it about? What was the main point of it?
- Was the source helpful for your particular assignment?
- How did it help answer your research question(s)?
- How was this source different than the other sources used?
- Did the source change your thinking on the research topic?
- How did the source affect you?
- Format your paper according to the MLA or APA guidelines (include the link to the MLA and APA guideline pages)
