You will prepare and share an annotated bibliography about E-Learning vs classroom learning

What is an annotated bibliography? An annotated bibliography is a list of citations of books, articles, and documents that may possibly be used for your speech. Each citation is followed by a descriptive and evaluative paragraphthe annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to explain the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources.

Directions: Write an annotated bibliography for three scholarly sources in preparation for a Informative Speech. Document the sources using APA seventh edition format. Alphabetize by author last name, double-space, and use the hanging indentation style as shown in the Week 3 Sample Annotated Bibliography (Links to an external site.).

As early in the week as possible, but no later than Wednesday, discuss the process you followed in locating sources that will be useful for your Informative Speech topic. If you are having any challenges locating materials, describe what support you need from your peers and instructor. We will do our best to assist.

1. Organize the three sources in alphabetical order by author last name. Cite the book, article, or document using APA seventh edition style. Note in the Sample Annotated Bibliography the use of hanging indent style and double-spacing for the citations and how the annotations are aligned with hanging indent.
2. Write an annotation for each source that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article, gives information about the author, and tells how you might use this information in your speech for each of the three sources.
   • Paragraph 1: First, summarize the source. This is the annotation. Be sure to write the summary in your own words and not copy from the article abstract to avoid plagiarism. Second, evaluate the authority or background of the author. What makes them an authority or expert on this subject? You may have to search beyond the article to find out more about your author.
   • Paragraph 2: Explain specifically how this work might be used in your speech. For example, it would be good for background, good for discussion of different viewpoints (state what they are), good for valuable facts and statistics, a good summary to help with your conclusion, good quotations from experts in the field, and so forth.
