please be sure to rely on credible, scholarly materials from the online
library. You will be selecting those materials for your Week 5 Annotated
Bibliography. Be sure to focus on cause and effect and analysis.
Try to avoid writing a play-by-play or a biography about the person. The
background is important-but the key is to focus on the impact and the
changes that took place here.
Instructions
Now that you have selected a topic for your final presentation, this
week you will need to construct your annotated bibliography using APA
style. For this assignment, you need to select a minimum of 8 sources
that you plan on using for your presentation and then construct the
annotations for each source. The concept of constructing a bibliography
is certainly not new for most students, but you may not be as
comfortable adding annotations to the bibliography entries.
After you select a source and reference it in APA format, construct the
annotation for the source. The annotation is really just answering a few
questions about the sources itself and once you answer these questions
this part of the assignment almost creates itself. Answer the following 6
questions for each source:
1.Main purpose of the source
2.Intended audience for the source
3.Relevance to your topic (or explain why it was not relevant to your
topic)
4.Author's background and credibility
5.Author's conclusions or observations
6.Your conclusions or observations
