Annotated Bibliography

Decent Essays
The annotated bibliography is an important step in the research writing process because it contains organized information from several different sources. It also provides descriptive examples of the sources that are available. I determined which sources to include by looking for information that supported my thesis statement. In the beginning, I had a bit of a tough time, but then I tried different keywords and more information became available. My thesis statement also helped me to have a more focused topic which resulted in me having better search results. When I first start this assignment, I selected a topic that was too broad. If I had to do this assignment again, I would start off by using a visual organizer because it really helped

    The Annotated Bibliography is well-adjusted and summarized. It explains what the main claim of the source used is, and the author keeps the sentences in her own style and words, without telling all the details, but rather just sticks to the main points. The author uses the sources, relevant to her topic, and precisely explains how she would use them in her paper; meanwhile, she supports the sources' ethos by explaining ''who'' these sources are, and what makes them to be credible.…

    The article by Tynan, Somers, Gleason, Markman, & Yoon (2015) investigates the role of external influential factors on the risky behaviours and goal-oriented habits of adolescents in 9th and 12th grades. The authors identify the various factors that influence adolescents’ behaviours including biological, peers, family and political factors. One of the variables considered for the study include parental monitoring; according to the authors, when parents are less involved in monitoring and observing the adolescents, there is a resulting increase in risky behaviours such as smoking, sexual engagement, drug use, and criminal activities. Parental involvement, another key factor, in the adolescents’ homework and extracurricular activities does not only improve the performance of such a child, but also decrease aggressive and poor behaviours such as smoking and drinking. Parental communication which entails parents discussing moral and sexual topics with the children will influence the adolescent development.…

    Some information that is found in an annotation includes, the qualifications of authors, the purpose or scope, the audience and level of reading difficulty, bias or standpoint of author, the relationship to other works in the field, findings, results and conclusion and lastly the format and special features. There are many reasons why I think an annotated bibliography is a good tool for research. I think this method encourages people to think more critically about the content of the work you are using, and it also proves that you have not only read but understand the sources. An annotated bibliography also makes your work a valid source since you have done research about it and most importantly provides a way for others to decide if the source will be helpful to their research if they decide to read…
