Your annotated bibliography should be a 4-6 sentence paragraph that includes:
1. A brief summary and the main points of the source
2. An evaluation of the source, e.g. who is the author or group that created the source and what makes them credible?
3. A reflection and your use of the source, e.g. how does the source inform your research and presentation?
Your paragraph will be included after your completed source citation. You can write this paragraph directly in NoodleTools by scrolling down to and writing in the "Annotation" box—see screenshot below. Once you have entered all your citations and annotations you can export it into Google Docs.
