Create an Annotated Bibliography
Using your research question, working thesis, and outline from Touchstone 1.2, create an annotated bibliography that provides a synopsis of your 5-7 sources and an explanation of how you will use them. As this assignment builds on Touchstone 1.2: Write a Research Question, Thesis, and Outline, that Touchstone, as well as Touchstone 2.1, must be graded before you can submit your annotated bibliography. Sample Touchstone 2.2 In order to foster learning and growth, all work you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any plagiarized or recycled work will result in a Plagiarism Detected alert. Review Touchstones: Academic Integrity Guidelines for more about plagiarism and the Plagiarism Detected alert. For guidance on the use of generative AI technology, review Ethical Standards and Appropriate Use of AI.
A. Assignment Guidelines
DIRECTIONS: Refer to the list below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines. Refer to the Sample Touchstone for additional guidance on structure, formatting, and citation.
1. Annotated Bibliography
Make sure to:
❒ Alphabetize the entries, according to APA Style.
❒ Include the required bibliographic information in APA format for each entry.
❒ Include 5-6 sentences for each entry that provide a short summary of the source (with page or paragraph-numbered citations) and how you plan to use it to support your argument.
❒ Include one direct quotation or paraphrase from each source (potential direct quotations for the draft).
❒ Include five to seven credible source in your annotated bibliography. Credible sources are from reliable sources like scholarly journals.
❒ Thoroughly check the formatting requirements for the different source types.

2. Reflection
❒ Have you displayed a clear understanding of the research activities?
❒ Have you answered all reflection questions including specific and concrete examples that provide thoughtful insight in all responses?
❒ Are your answers included on a separate page below the main assignment?
B. Reflection Questions

1. Accurately recording bibliographic information is essential and saves you time, as you can transfer this information to the References page of your drafted essay.

Discuss how your annotated bibliography meets these criteria. (2-3 sentences)
