An Annotated Bibliography is a list of bibliographic citations that includes a descriptive and evaluative paragraph of each citation.
Its overall purpose is to support your study of a particular subject by providing a collection of succinct article summaries that will negate the need for rereading of an article.
It should not be more than 150 words.

Where do I start?

Critical readers attempt to dialogue with the text by asking tough questions on the article’s purpose, audience, language and content.

Who is the author? His/her credentials?, biases?
Where is the article published? What type of journal is it? What is the audience?
What do I know about the topic? Am I open to new ideas?
Why was the article written? What is its purpose?
What is the author’s thesis? The major supporting points or assertions?

Questions to ask about an article
Did the author support his/her thesis/assertions?
Did the article achieve its purpose?
Was the article organized?
