Annotated Bibliography Format
Begin with an introduction that comments on the scope of existing research on your particular topic. What have others said about your particular topic? Then you should state the major question that existing research has not considered or has not answered adequately. It is this question that will drive your thesis and your research paper. Your thesis for the research paper should be framed to respond to the question or gap you have raised. It can be the same thesis you framed when you completed the summary/critique activity, or it could be a revision. However, the revised thesis that you submit here should be the final thesis that will govern your essay.
