Writing Annotated Bibliography for Secondary Research Assignment II

What are Annotated Bibliographies?

Annotated Bibliographies are written for any primary research work. They may be written from the author of the research work or from someone else. Annotated Bibliographies give the reader information about sources used in the research paper: they summarize them, they assess and evaluate them in various components (related to the research paper which they are references for) and they express the author of annotated bibliography reflections upon them (in relation to the article which they are reference for). The reader reads the annotated bibliography and creates a sense of the article and the sources used in article. Annotated Bibliographies may or may not draw attention of their readers into the article. The writer of the annotated bibliography must do an effective and efficient job to draw the reader towards and more closed to the article (for which the annotations are written).

For this assignment, you will write an annotated bibliography for the sources you listed in Reference Page in your Secondary Research Assg. I. Your annotated bibliography must contain exactly three sources; required - at least two of them should be journal articles and/or books. These are sources that relate to your Secondary Research Assg. I.  You cannot use the article that you evaluate as reference.

For each source the work must contain elements of summary, evaluation/assessment and reflection.

For each resource the work of the assignment must not contain more than 3 paragraphs. If this limit is exceeded, the assignment will not be read for evaluation; a zero will be assigned for such assignment works.
