May 11: Annotated Bibliography Due

Your preliminary annotated bibliography is designed to get you reading on the topics on which you are going to conduct research. So you can see how each other puts together a bibliography, please post it on the Discussion board by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 11. Your bibliography should consist of a minimum of
  • Five annotated source citations. Each one should include bibliographic data in any standard format, plus a short paragraph summarizing the content of the source and how you think it will contribute to your research planning
  • Fifteen additional un-annotated source citations. You are not expected to have read these yet, just know they exist and that you plan to look at them.
If you have more than five annotated citations, you can reduce the number of un-annotated citations proportionately, but the more the better at this point in your project.
