your annotation needs to be at least 300 words (approximately one page that is double-spaced), and it needs to include all three of the categories below (e.g., summarize, assess, and reflect). Try to answer as many questions below as possible. For your first annotation, you may not be able to answer “How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography?” in the “Assess” section. Answer what is possible. Be sure to make your annotation three paragraphs (e.g., summarize, assess, and reflect) that are each have their first line indented half an inch. Do not add a space between the three paragraphs. However, do make sure that your annotation is double-spaced and uses Times New Roman 12-point font and one-inch margins.

Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is.For more help, see [the OWL Purdue] handout on paraphrasing sources.

Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?For more help, see [OWL Purdue] handouts on evaluating resources.

Reflect: Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
