IMPORTANT NOTE: For this discussion, you will only complete one annotation as a
way to practice the format. Please be sure that you choose scholarly sources that
will support your research.
One of this week’s main assignments is the Annotated Bibliography. In order to create a
viable Annotated Bibliography, you must be able to evaluate your sources properly. For your main post, construct one annotation that includes a properly formatted APA
bibliographic reference and the narrative as indicated. Complete the annotation in a
Word document and attach it for review. You are using an attachment so that we can
review the formatting. Sample APA Annotation:
Ehrenreich, B. (2001). Nickel and dimed: On (not) getting by in America.
New York: Henry Holt and Company.
In this book of nonfiction based on the journalist's experiential research,
Ehrenreich attempts to ascertain whether it is currently possible for an individual
to live on a minimum-wage in America. Taking jobs as a waitress, a maid in a
cleaning service, and a Walmart sales employee, the author summarizes and
reflects on her work, her relationships with fellow workers, and her financial
struggles in each situation.
An experienced journalist, Ehrenreich is aware of the limitations of her
experiment and the ethical implications of her experiential research tactics and
reflects on these issues in the text. The author is forthcoming about her methods
and supplements her experiences with scholarly research on her places of
employment, the economy, and the rising cost of living in America. Ehrenreich’s
project is timely, descriptive, and well-researched.
The annotation above both summarizes and assesses the book in the citation. The first
paragraph provides a brief summary of the author's project in the book, covering the main
points of the work. The second paragraph points out the project’s strengths and evaluates its methods and presentation. This particular annotation does not reflect on the source’s
potential importance or usefulness for this person’s own research.
