Instructions
How to write annotations:
Begin with a bibliographic entry (such as would appear on a Works Cited page) for the article or book in MLA format. ___College has a page that shows how to do the bibliographic entry for an article in an edited book, which is what you’ll be using for this assignment, as the articles you are assigned appear in our textbook. Click here (Links to an external site.) and scroll down to the heading “Article or Chapter in an Edited Book.”
Next, summarize the main arguments or content of the article.
Then, evaluate the main arguments or content of the article. To “evaluate” means to explain how well (or poorly) you believe the author did at addressing the topic at hand. Give reasons for your evaluation.
Finally, reflect on the value of this source for your research, field of study, or professional interests.
Recommended length: 200-300 words excluding the bibliographic entry.
