What is an annotated bibliography?
It is an organized list of sources (referenced in APA format), each of which is followed by a summary or description of the source which is called an annotation. Your annotations should focus on what you learned from each source about the intervention you chose to write about. For instance, what did the article or website tell you about the effectiveness of the intervention? What did it tell you about how the intervention is implemented? Review the outline for the final paper to get a better idea of what you are looking for in your sources.
