For this assignment you will find five scholarly sources to support your research. One of these sources should be a chapter or selection from your text. The other sources should be peer-reviewed articles from academic journals. In general, source material should be published within the last 10 years. Use the library for help to search for articles you will need to successfully complete this assignment. http://library.auraria.edu/
Write an annotation of each source in APA format. If appropriate, you may use articles from reputable websites in addition to your five required sources.
Instructions: Read and summarize your research articles. Write an annotated bibliography of the information that is useful for your research paper. There is not a page requirement for this assignment, you must only follow the instructions below.
For your assignment submission, you will: 1) provide a full APA reference for each of your articles, and 2) write an annotation/summary for each article. You should summarize each article in 1-2 paragraphs. Here are the components you should include in your annotation:
Provide an APA citation for each of your sources.
Provide a summary to describe the article. For example, you could address the following questions: 1) What are the main points of the article, 2) What did they do (i.e. what research strategies/process did they apply?), and 3) What were the conclusions that the authors made?
Conclude with a statement of how each article will support your topic or argument. The article could be providing background information for your research topic or it could be presenting a strategy, process, or conclusion that is an important finding for your topic.
NOTE: Do not personalize your literature review. Leave out “I” or “my” references within your literature review. Instead, stick to the facts. “The research found in this article suggests…” This is not the section of the paper where you want to voice opinions or experiences.
