An Annotated Bibliography organizes your research by way of APA citations and a short paragraph about each
source. For this Assignment, you will create an Annotated Bibliography for four sources related to an argument
for change. One of the sources should address a rival viewpoint or misconception related to your topic.

• Sources that would be appropriate are as follows:
•
• Book, ebook, article, or a chapter from book or ebook
• Periodical (e.g., newspaper, magazine, journal article)
• Internet source (e.g., blog, organization website, article from Internet site)
• Video or audio source (e.g., documentary, video blog, TED Talk, podcast)
• A primary source in which the authors of the content are the primary researchers (the ones who conducted
research), e.g., a government report, case study, or speech
• An interview with an expert source either published online or conducted by the student
• A visual or graphic source from a credible .org, .gov, or .edu site.
• At least one source should address an opposing viewpoint or misconception.
• Each source should be cited in APA format.
• Directly below the APA reference citation for each source, provide an annotation paragraph that includes the
following:
• Brief summary of the source (no direct quotes from the source) and a parenthetical citation after the
summary, e.g., (Smith, 2014)
• Evaluation of the source’s credibility, including the author’s credentials and the verifiability of the source’s
information; this should include where you found the source (Library, Google search engine, government
website, etc.)
• Discussion about how you will use the source to support your argument for community change.
