[SOLVED] Create an annotated bibliography

Create an annotated bibliography (at home)

Assemble your Works Cited page
Write out each of your sources in Chicago Style format. Put them in alphabetical order (by author’s last name). Example:

Reuben, Suzanne H. and the President’s Cancer Panel. 2008-2009 Annual Report: Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk, What We Can Do Now. Apr. 2010. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Web. 10 May 2010.

Specter, Michael. Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet and Threatens Our Lives. New York: Penguin Press, 2009. Print.

Add an annotation for each item

After each citation:

Write a 2-3-sentence summary of the book or article. What is the thesis of the book (often can be found in the introduction) or article (often can be found in the first couple of paragraphs)? How does the author situate herself in the general field?
Write one sentence stating which part(s) of the articles and/or books that you might incorporate into your own paper (quotes, statistics, evidence, examples). Go back to
your own research question: how will this source help you answer your question? What parts of this source reinforce/strengthen my own thesis paragraph?

Example:
Reuben, Suzanne H. and the President’s Cancer Panel. 2008-2009 Annual Report: Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk, What We Can Do Now. Apr. 2010. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Web. 10 May 2010.

The President’s Cancer Panel discusses a wide range of man-made chemical causes for cancer. It is scientifically sound and based on a great deal of research and data. Important for my paper, the section at the end of the study recommends that people reduce their intake of pesticides and growth hormones often found in non-organic foods. In other words, in order to reduce one’s risk of developing cancer, the panel recommends eating organic food (among a number of other lifestyle changes).
