Annotated Bibliography
Overview
As we were introduced into conducting background research on your topic of interest.

Instructions
For this assignment, you are to complete the following template with at least five (5) sources on your topic. These sources can be academic (scholarly) or non-academic.
After you have completed the template, you will complete a reflective summary of the activity. In 200 words, address the following:
- How was this activity beneficial?
- What additional categories would you add to the template and why? Are there any you would remove and why?
- After engaging in the background research, reflect on your progress with your topic – any changes or obstacles you anticipate? Be sure to elaborate and explain what changes and how you may work with any obstacles.
You can simply add the summary at the end of the bibliography template.
