An Annotated Bibliography is a list of the sources you have found so far.  

These sources should:

directly reflect your topic and working thesis

be current

demonstrate authority on the author’s part

Look for sources that will help you write, develop, and support your semester research project.

For each source, you should include:

a full MLA citation as it would appear on your Works Cited page

refer to Content >> Guide A: Research and MLA, as needed

a summary, two to three sentences long, where you highlight the main argument of the source and the most important takeaways

in a sentence or two, an evaluation of the effectiveness and credibility of your source

a response of your reaction to the source and how you will use it in your writing or research project, in a sentence or two

My thesis statement is You must exercise, eat well, and get enough sleep to be healthy. People feel better about themselves and their bodies when they are physically healthy.
