The Annotated Bibliography

An annotated Bibliography (AB) is due with your Rogerian essay. Using the MLA guide, list each source as it will appear on the Works Cited page of your essay. 

Summarize each source in two or three grammatically-correct  sentences. These short summaries are the “annotations.” 

 

The following is a sample of an “annotated bibliography.”
