In preparation for writing each of your discussion forums, you should submit an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a list of sources (books, journals, Web sites, periodicals, etc.) one has used for researching a topic (Annotated Bibliographies, 2020).

For all sources used in your discussion forum you should:

        Provide an APA formatted Citation

        Summarize the source and discuss the research study that was conducted and what the findings were.

        Assess the source and discuss how useful it is and how it compares with other sources in your paper.

        Reflecton how the source will be useful to you in your forum. How does it help to shape your argument and how are you using it to shape your writing?
