2. Search the internet to find resources that can be used for an essay topic/s (news stories, magazines, current events)

If you choose to use a different type of source, for example, a dissertation or technical paper, you can exchange for one of the above.

For each of the sources in the bibliography, write a one-paragraph annotation (5-9 sentences) and summarize the information (2-3 Sentences max), how they inform or relate to your essay topic (1-2 sentences max), critical analysis or limitations of the article (1 sentence), and how you will use this in your essay (1-2 sentences).
