INTRODUCTION

This section should explain the topic clearly and offer a justification for the selected articles. You have to write an in-depth and balanced background of relevant information that supports your chosen topic. Also analyse the significant aspects of the topic in question. Ensure the reader gains essential insights into the subject matter. It should also state the research question related to your topic.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 - 300 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

Annotations are NOT abstracting.
Abstracts are the purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly journal articles or in periodical indexes. Annotations are descriptive and critical; they expose the author's point of view, clarity and appropriateness of expression, and authority.

General Instructions
The annotated bibliography is to be produced using a word processor and the EndNote reference database (or any other reference database). The submitted document must be in PDF or Word format.

The Process
Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed library research.

First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic. You may have to review many works before you find good ones quickly. Annotate at least eight of these. The length of the annotation will depend on why it has been included and on the source itself.
Cite the book, article, or document, including the abstract.
Write a concise annotation that summarises the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that:
evaluate the authority or background of the author,
comment on the intended audience

compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic. Each student must ensure that the annotations are in their own words.
