What is annotated bibliography?
What is annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Why create an annotated bibliography?
Why create an annotated bibliography?
Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise writing, analysis, and informed library research.
- First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic.
- Briefly examine and review the actual items.
- Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.
- Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style.
- Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article.
- Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.
*** For guidance in critically analyzing the sources for your bibliography, see How to Critically Analyze Information Sources.
Writing and outlining your speech
Writing and outlining your speech
There are different types of delivery: manuscript, memorized, and extemporaneous.
Manuscript: Write out your material word for word and reference those words from notes during your speech
Memorized: Commit to knowing your speech by heart with no notes
Extemporaneous: Outline your ideas and organize your thoughts without writing word for word, but have notes to guide you

Every speech you write will have three things: Introduction, Body, and Conclusion.
Introduction:
- Focuses attention of your audience
- Introduces the topic
- Previews the ideas in your speech
Body:
- Organized around a limited number of main ideas, usually 3.
- Transitions between main ideas
Conclusion:
- Summarizes your main points
- Leave your audience with something to think about
