Complete the “Suppose You’re Researching” activity on the bottom of page 527.

 
 
I would consider citing the information regarding climate and the evidence NASA has.
Along with data. Because NASA is a very well-known source, it could be very helpful to
find data along with charts and information to support the research. It is easier for me to
examine the infographic from above’s report because it contains the data very clear along
with a chart.  I would cite the “Melting Ice, Warming Ocean” report because the
information is very clear.

 Respond to this question: What are the characteristics of an annotated bibliography? Identify and describe
each characteristic.
 
The characteristics of an annotated bibliography can vary between an evaluative and
descriptive bibliographies.  The main goal of an evaluative annotated bibliography is to
evaluate the source,  acknowledging a weakness but still explains why is it useful. The goal
of a descriptive annotated bibliography is to summarize and describe the source. And
explain how the source will inform the research paper. Some are wrote in full sentences
and some others consist in short phrases. The goal of annotated bibliographies is to
describe the sources the writer will consult and to describe the role that each of this
sources will play into the research paper.
