Annotating your sources is an important practice
allows for careful review of each source; understand what the source is communicating, evaluate the information, and determine its usefulness and relevance to your topic
summarize information (2 sentences)
evaluate source (2 sentences)
relevance to the topic (1 sentence)
helps you keep track of the numerous sources you will be looking at, choosing, and ultimately citing in your essay
The annotations are for your information. The Works Cited included in your Extended Essay does not require annotations, and the examiner will not read them.
