Reading about Chicago Style was a bit intimidating to me at first because this is the first time I’m being exposed to it as a citation style. I mostly used MLA in high school, but there was one time I used APA. But after reading about it, Chicago Style doesn’t seem all that different and the examples really helped me visualize what I’m supposed to do later. In terms of the annotated bibliography, I have done one once before, but it was in MLA format. But the layout seems fairly similar, with the citation, summary, and evaluation. When I did it in high school, I made an annotated bibliography that I then used to write a paper, but I know we won’t be doing that for this assignment.

For finding a source to use from Campbell’s book Richmond’s Unhealed History, I was able to narrow down my choices of interest by jotting down a few sources I was interested in, and then eliminating based on availability. I found myself interested in topics like bus boycotts and forced sterilization, but I ultimately settled on forced sterilization. Through UR’s library website, I was able to find a book online that Campbell referenced. I will most likely read around the page that he cited, and maybe skim around to see what else I can find about the eugenics movement.
