Directions
Write an APA style annotated bibliography with at least four sources on the topic you have chosen.
Each entry in your annotated bibliography should be composed of two parts
1. A citation of one source.
2. A minimum 150-word annotation placed beneath the citation summarizing the content of the source (thesis, evidence, supports, main points, etc.), evaluating the usefulness and reliability of the source, and indicating how you might use the source in your research paper.
Additional Considerations
· Be sure to sufficiently summarize and paraphrase each source — no direct quotations
· The annotated bibliography should be written and formatted in scrupulous adherence to all APA style guidelines for its genre

Plagiarism
You are expected to write primarily in your own voice using paraphrase, summary, and synthesis techniques when integrating information from class and outside sources. Use an author’s exact words only when the language is especially vivid, unique, or needed for technical accuracy. Failure to do so may result in charges of academic dishonesty.
Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer. It is best if you write this paper without any materials from outside sources.
