Although your full annotated bibliography requires at least three sources, you will share just one with the class. You will need to focus on proper formatting and including the required information, such as the summary, relevance, and evaluation of your source. Your classmates will provide you with feedback on your annotation; you will also provide feedback on their work. After you share your annotation with the class, respond to the following questions as you provide your classmates with feedback: 1. Is the APA formatting information correct? If not, what issues do you notice? 2. Does the sample entry provide the summary, explain the relevance, and offer an evaluation of the source? Explain. If not, what is missing? Post your primary response (150–200 words). Read any postings already provided by your instructor or fellow students. Read and respond to the conclusions drawn by at least two of your classmates. Remember to read the feedback to your own major postings and reply to it throughout the module. Your initial post is due by Thursday at 11:59. Your responses are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM. Consult the Discussion Posting Guide for information about writing your discussion posts. It is recommended that you write your post in a document first. Check your work and correct any spelling or grammatical errors. When you are ready to make your initial post, click on "Reply." Then copy/paste the text into the message field, and click “Post Reply.” To respond to a peer, click “Reply” beneath her or his post and continue as with an initial post.
