Annotated Bibliography Homework


Annotated bibliographies are very much similar to a works cited page with a few adjustments. An annotated bibliography is a summary of every book that was used while researching a topic. Included are the bibliographies of each book better known as works cited. So if you put annotated which means notes or summary of, with bibliography, you will get the summary of a book! Annotated bibliographies gives a quick overlay on what your topic is about and exactly what details will be covered in your research. Some annotated bibliographies are published, allowing students like me to research one that relates to my topic.
The main reason you may want us to learn about this is so that we do not procrastinate on finding creditable sources. Writing an annotated bibliography forces use to actually read and comprehend each source that we use, which takes a lot more time. Along with that, I am sure you will lecture us on this and we may have to write an annotated bibliography either as a class assignment or for our group research. Finally, annotated bibliographies will help me analyze my sources. While doing research, I may feel as if it is creditable and will provide the best information towards my research, but as I analyze the source, I may see that it is not.

  2. I really agree because annotated bibliography will make research and actually writing the paper much easier for the writer and the reader. Even though annotated bibliographies are lengthy and can take a lot of time and force you to complete assignment ahead of time, they are really just to help you write a better paper.
