Week 5 Course Project: Annotated Bibliography
Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:
- Minimum of 8 scholarly resources
Introduction
You will work on a research project for the duration of this course that you will deliver as a presentation. Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:
| Week | Task |
|---|---|
| Week 3 | Topic Selection |
| Week 5 | Annotated Bibliography |
| Week 6 | Script |
| Week 8 | Presentation |
Instructions
Now that you have selected a topic for your final presentation, this week you will need to construct your annotated bibliography using APA style. For this assignment, you need to select a minimum of 8 sources that you plan on using for your presentation and then construct the annotations for each source. The concept of constructing a bibliography is certainly not new for most students, but you may not be as comfortable adding annotations to the bibliography entries.
After you select a source and reference it in APA format, construct the annotation for the source. The annotation is really just answering a few questions about the sources itself and once you answer these questions this part of the assignment almost creates itself. Answer the following 6 questions for each source:
- Main purpose of the source
- Intended audience for the source
- Relevance to your topic (or explain why it was not relevant to your topic)
- Author’s background and credibility
- Author’s conclusions or observations
- Your conclusions or observations
Writing Requirements (APA format)
- Length: 3-5 pages (not including title page or references page)
- 1-inch margins
- Double spaced
- 12-point Times New Roman font
- Title page
- References page (minimum of 8 scholarly sources)
