Prepare an annotated bibliography that includes four sources related to your idea for change.

Instructions

Keeping track of the sources you have found to support your argument for change, assessing the credibility of those sources, and determining their value for supporting your argument will help you to write a more effective academic essay.

An annotated bibliography allows you to do all of these things; it is essentially a references page with “annotations” for each source that summarize the main idea, assess the source’s credibility, and note the value of the source for your argument.

For the Unit 6 Assignment, you will prepare an annotated bibliography that includes four sources related to your idea for change.

Include the following:

Title page in APA format

Your revised topic statement for an argument for change in your communitys

Citations and annotations for four separate sources, which can be primary or secondary but should all be credible and appropriate for academic research

One source that includes a visual or graphic component to help you prepare for the Unit 9 Assignment (the presentation)

One source that addresses a rival hypothesis or misconception about your topic.
Citations should be in APA format

Annotations should include the following:

1–2 sentence summary of the source’s main idea, followed by an in-text citation, e.g. (Smith, 2014)

Evaluation of the source’s credibility, including the author’s credentials and the verifiability of the source’s information; this should include where you found the source (Library, Google search engine, government website, etc.). Use the criteria covered in Evaluating Information to guide your evaluation.

Discussion about how you will use the source to support your argument for community change. In this section, paraphrase a key point from the source that supports or challenges your claim nand include an in-text citation.
