and Mechanics: Ensure that you are writing according to the rules of grammar. Avoid contractions, implement subject verb agreement, implement proper capitalization and MLA format when referring to sources.

Summary: Your summary should be representative of the work. The reader of the summary should know who, what, when, where, and why the source is important enough to include as a viable resource.

Format and Thesis: Your format should follow MLA format and you will also print your thesis at the beginning of your submission.

Source: Don’t forget to include the full website name/address, and all components of the source’s information. Remember, when done correctly, all you need do is paste and copy unto your Works Cited page.

Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is.

For more help, see our handout on paraphrasing sources.

Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
