Annotated bibliographies provide you with the opportunity to cite, summarize, and compare and contrast resources you will use in a paper. You will cite each
resource in APA style, write an approximately 150-word description that summarizes the central theme and scope of the resource, and compare and contrast it
with other resources. For more information on annotated bibliographies, consult the SNHU Writing Center’s annotated bibliography guide.
