STEP 3: Start with the article in your bibliography you think you understand best. This will help you gain confidence as you begin. Use the worksheet to write your annotations. You begin by writing a summary of the source. Simply, in two to three sentences, tell your reader what the article was about. This is not the place for details, quotes, or even your opinion.

STEP 4: Now, write an analysis of the source. Be sure to explain the credentials of the author or source (if no source). Also, list what the article uses as support (case studies, interviews with experts, statistics, etc.). Again, follow the directions on the worksheet.

STEP 5: Lastly, write a reflection. Reflection is an important critical thinking skill. You demonstrate here that you can examine the source for its specific value/usefulness to your paper. Will you be able to use the source in your argument paper? How? Be as specific as possible. This helps a researcher keep track of discoveries–especially when dealing with many sources at one time.

STEP 6: Revise, edit, proofread, submit your work. Do you need to add transitions between the sections of the annotations?
