IQ: How do I write an annotated bibliography? 

1. Sample annotation: Citation + Gist + Validity

Davidson, Hilda Ellis. Roles of the Northern Goddess, Routledge, 1998.

Davidson's book provides a thorough examination of the major roles filled by the numerous pagan goddesses of Northern Europe in everyday life, including their roles in hunting, agriculture, domestic arts like weaving, the household, and death. The author discusses relevant archaeological evidence, patterns of symbol and ritual, and previous research. The book includes a number of black and white photographs of relevant artifacts. The source is valid because Routledge is a leading academic publishing company in London.

1. **MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PROPER HEADING ON THE TOP OF YOUR ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY (so if we were to print it, it would be there)
2. You may use easybib.com--you will need to space it out properly (and alphabetize) on your final document. Please get rid of the highlighted background, too!
3. You should cite the source correctly and according to MLA 8.
4. You should have three parts to your paragraph entry:
1. The “gist” of the source (brief summary)
2. How you believe the source will benefit your paper (what side, background, point of view, authorship, etc)
3. The validity of the source--how you know it’s reliable

2. Faulkner: "On Ice"
