Annotations are typically 100-150 words in length and do four things.
1) Identify the author/speaker
2) Identify the source type (web, journal article, video, newspaper, interview, etc.)
3) Summarize the source and note information that you see as particularly relevant. If there is a quote that you think might be useful for your paper, you may include it. This will save you from having to go back to the source and reread as you write your paper.
4) Compare the work to one other source on the topic/ note any strengths or weaknesses. *
When you are annotating your first source, you won’t have anything to compare to. Write the annotation minus the comparison first, and the comparison after you have written other annotations.
