INSTRUCTIONS
Your annotated bibliography should include a minimum of 4 peer-reviewed, PRIMARY references. Primary references are research journal articles that present ORIGINAL material (not reviews, textbooks and definitely NOT websites).

Instructions for how to do the annotations are provided in links in this folder. You should use the critical/evaluative style (as described by the UNC website). Submit your annotated bibliography to the drop.
