Annotated Bibliography needs to be 6 recent (1980+) scholarly sources and must include a brief summary of the contents of each item described, and it needs to be evaluative: that is, you will need to discuss the relative merits and limitations of each item, and its usefulness as a source to the paper you will write.
Each annotation should be about 250–300 words in length. Must include six sources (though you may use more sources in your actual paper), and formatted in accordance with MLA style specifications.
Bibliographies will be graded on the basis of their written summaries of the sources; on the basis of the quality of those sources; and on formatting.
