The purpose of completing annotated bibliographies in this class is to prepare the student for current and future research. The idea is to learn how to research for information and then critique the information for knowledge use and for validity. Completing these annotations will allow the student to build and create a portfolio of information for future reference.
Annotate your findings from the article linked below

Instructions:
- Each annotation should consist of a 2-3 sentence summary of the key findings/ takeaway from the source, a brief (1-2 sentence) description of the analytic technique used (if applicable), a critique of strengths/limitations of the study, and a 1-2 sentence explanation of how the source will contribute to their final paper. The annotation should be in the student’s own words – do not copy and paste directly from the abstract or the text.
- Write your annotated bibliography with "tags" in your example that follows the guidelines
- example: My first sentence will provide a broad summary of the article. My second sentence will identify key findings. My third sentence may expand on key findings if necessary [tag here: summary]. My first sentence here will describe analytic technique, research methods used [tag here: context]. My second sentence will provide a critique of strengths and limitations [tag here: critique]. My first sentence here will describe how the source aligns with my final PPoP paper. My second sentence will describe how it aligns with other contributions for the final paper. [tag here: contributions].
- This format will be practice for your final module's literature review and peer review of others who develop an annotated bibliography for their final paper. The Reference should be in APA format.
