I’m working on a education & teaching multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.
Assignment Instructions: Final Annotated Bibliography submitted to Canvas and Taskstream.
You will do research on a topic that you are interested in as a result of what you are learning in this course and complete an annotated bibliography for five resources.
TOPIC: Your topic should address a current issue under the broad topic of the education of students with disabilities (ages K-22).*.
Overarching topics include, but are not limited to:
- Disproportionality
- Inclusion
- Working with Parents and Families
- Working English Language Learners (ELL) who are also identified with a disability
- Teaching Strategies
- One of the 13 disabilities discussed
- Other topics from the textbook
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for various books, articles, and other sources on a topic. The annotated bibliography looks like a Works Cited page but includes an annotation after each source cited. An annotation is a short summary and/or critical evaluation of a source. Annotated bibliographies can be part of a larger research project, or can be a stand-alone report in itself.
Writing an Annotated Bibliography
- Cite the source using APA style.
- Describe the main ideas, arguments, themes, theses, or methodology, and identify the intended audience.
- Compare to other sources on the same topic that you have also cited to show similarities and differences.
- Explain why each source is useful for your research topic and how it relates to your topic.
- Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each source.
- Identify the observations or conclusions of the author.

Basic Tips for Writing and Formatting
- Each annotation should be three paragraphs, with each paragraph between three to six sentences long (about 150- 200 words).
- Start with the same format as a regular Works Cited list.
- All lines should be double-spaced. Do not add an extra line between the citations.
- If your list of citations is especially long, you can organize it by topic.
- Try to be objective, and give explanations if you state any opinions.
- Use the third person (e.g., he, she, the author) instead of the first person (e.g., I, my, me)
One of the goals is to make sure you are using VALID RESOURCES.
- If you are not sure if you are using a valid resource, go to https://libguides.msvu.ca/help/evaluation
- Only research-based articles, books, peer-reviewed journals are to be used – no blogs, wikis, or opinion sources are appropriate.
