Annotated Bibliography Template

Creating an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of critical thinking skills:
research, analysis, and concise exposition.
Step 1
Locate scholarly articles that contain useful information and ideas regarding your field of study,
teaching dispositions, or education in general. Choose resources that provide a variety of
perspectives on your topic. For help on library research and reference formatting, refer to the
“UNV-108 Library Guide” (https://libguides.gcu.edu/UNV-108)
Step 2
Cite the scholarly articles using APA Style. Refer to the Student Success Center for more
information.
Step 3
In 50-100 words for each reference, write a concise annotation that summarizes the ideas and
perspectives within the resource. Be sure to include an in-text citation in your summary. Use the
abstract and the article conclusion to guide your summary.

This article talks about empathy and its role in Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP).

Warren emphasizes the importance of teachers developing empathy as part of “perspective

taking” when reacting to culturally sensitive scenarios. It is the author’s hope that as teacher

preparation programs encourage teacher candidates to reflect on their own dispositions as a

teacher (including empathy), that they will be better prepared for culturally diverse teaching

placements (Warren, 2018).
