Annotations should summarize and/or evaluate your resources and should include one or more of the follow (check with your teacher for their expectations for the project):

• Summary

• Assessment

• Reflection

​The Purdue OWL is an helpful resource. Check out their Annotated Bibliographies section, including their Annotated Bibliography samples.

Remember to format your bibliography correctly:

• The citation should have a hanging indent (first line is flush left, and all subsequent lines are indented)

• Your annotations should start on a new line and either be in paragraph form (first line indented) or all lines flush left with an extra line space between paragraphs.

• Generally speaking, your bibliography should be in alphabetical order; however, check with your teacher as to their preferred order (e.g., by date or category).
