Practice Exercise: Annotated Bibliography

Your annotated bibliography should tell a story about your topic.  What does that mean? Your bibliography shows:

• diversity in viewpoints of a topic
• diversity in coverage of a topic

The bibliography should demonstrate that you have been selective about the sources you have chosen.

Each source presents interesting, unique, or complementary information.
