Annotated Bibliography

When you've completed your research, you're going to TYPE a final draft of your annotations. This will be MLA formatted (so use the proper header, double space it, no extra enter keys, make sure your annotations are alphabetized, last name and page number in the corner, etc.). Each of your annotations should have a citation, summary of your source, evaluation of source (credibility of article/site), and reflection (why this article is important to your topic).

YOU SHOULD HAVE A TOTAL OF 10!!! ANNOTATIONS.

Put this in your English folder and share it with me.

This example uses MLA style (MLA Handbook, 8th edition, 2016) for the journal citation:

Waite, Linda J., et al. "Nonfamily Living and the Erosion of Traditional Family Orientations Among Young Adults." American Sociological Review, vol. 51, no. 4, 1986, pp. 541-554.

The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans,and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living.
