After reading a bit more of my chosen source from Richmond’s Unhealed History, I jotted down some notes that summarized the book and some information that would answer my research question. After doing that, it was much easier to actually write the two paragraphs for this annotated bibliography entry. I found it hard to narrow down this whole book into a brief summary though. Also, since I skimmed it rather than reading the whole thing, I was unsure if my summary was sufficient enough to encapsulate the entire work. It was easier to write the second paragraph though because I was able to find answers to my research question on the pages surrounding Campbell’s citation. In terms of formatting, I am unsure about the indentations for each paragraph and the citation itself. I tried to mimic the example on the website, but I would like some further guidance on that. Also, I don’t know if we have to include our name somewhere on the paper. I know for MLA format there’s a way to do that on an annotated bibliography, but I don’t know what the Chicago format is. Finally, I’m unsure what the title should be, like if it should say Annotated Bibliography or just Bibliography. Overall, I think that an annotated bibliography would be a great project if you were to write a paper or do some other project right after making one.
