How to make an annotated bibliography:

• Fill in the boxes with as much information as you possibly can. If you can add an annotation, do that. An annotation tells you used the resource in your research.

• Copy and paste the citation into your document OR write our your citation exactly as it appears on the screen (including the indentation).
• Remember that you need at least one sentence for annotation of each resource you use for your project.
