1. Gather and assess five scholarly research articles relevant to your topic, compiling these articles into an annotated bibliography.
   • Annotated bibliographies are comprised of a brief summary of the article and a discussion and assessment of how the article will contribute to the research project.
   • These five sources must be scholarly sources of original research, such as journal articles and books.
   • Although students may use relevant course readings for their research projects, the annotated bibliographies must not include course readings.
   • Annotated bibliographies must be written according to academic standards of scholarship and referencing using APA.
2. There are many helpful university-based websites, including the following, to help students prepare their annotated bibliographies:

• OWL. (n.d.). Purdue online writing lab.https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/03/
• Cornell Unversity. (n.d.). How to prepare an annotated bibliography: The annotated bibliography.http://guides.library.cornell.edu/annotatedbibliography
