An annotated bibliography, however, is slightly different. While you should have everything for a standard Works Cited page, an annotated bibliography also contains a very short summary (between 100 to 150 words) for each citation (in this case, eight [8]. but if you don’t all. then a minimum of five [5] will do for now) you have used, based on the guide from Cornell University’s Michael Engle:

“Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic” (Engle).
