Homework: Annotated Bibliography
Annotated bibliographies provide you with the opportunity to cite, summarize, and compare and contrast resources you will use in a project. Write an approximately 150-word description that summarizes the central theme and scope of the resource, and compare and contrast it with other resources. For more information on annotated bibliographies, consult UMGC's How to Write an Annotated Bibliography.

Depending on the homework, the annotated bibliography may serve a number of purposes, including but not limited to reviewing the literature on a particular subject, illustrating the quality of research you have done, providing examples of the types of resources available, describing other items on a topic that may be of interest to the reader, and/or exploring the subject for further research.
