Here is an Annotated Bibliography I made in college. It is formatted correctly.

Correct your annotated bibliographies as I have instructed and make sure they employ MLA Format. Remember to reference your MLA Cheat Sheet for proper techniques also!

Download this document that has the margins correctly set up in Word. You should be able to fill in the blanks with your own information.

Remember, your annotations are paragraphs that summarize, assess, and reflect on the sources. Feel free to copy this example and fill in the details for your own source!
The main point of this article is to inform the reader about Ben Franklin's life. It also tells of Franklin's role in forming America as a nation. This article provides background to Franklin's literature. This source IS OR IS NOT informational and reliable because this article is in a textbook. This source IS OR IS NOT objective because multiple professionals wrote this source.  I can now take notes and search for additional information and sources.
