2-1 Activity: Annotated Bibliography

Overview
A bibliography is a list of scholarly and professional resources that you find while conducting exploratory research on a topic. As you continue to develop your task, whether it be a speech, presentation, video, literature review, or writing task, your bibliography can serve as a quick way to find the information you need from a pre-evaluated resource.

In this assignment, you will create not just a bibliography, but an annotated bibliography. Annotated bibliographies take a bibliography a step further by providing a short summary and evaluation of each resource. This can help you find exactly the information you need at a later date, as well as identify gaps in the resources you found.

Prompt
Create an annotated bibliography for your selected presentation topic using the provided Annotated Bibliography Template (located in the Guidelines for Submission section), including your selected resources from Milestone One as well as two new resources.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Resource Selection: Select a variety of professional and scholarly resources that directly relate to your selected project topic.
Resource Summary: Briefly summarize the main points and topics covered in each resource.
Resource Evaluation: Evaluate the credibility, reliability, and objectivity of each resource.
Resource Reflection: Briefly describe how each resource relates to your selected topic, how it could be helpful in developing your speech, how it helped you understand your topic, and how it helped you change or strengthen your perspective on your topic
