What sort of information should your annotations contain?
Answers
Some information your annotation might provide:
1.What is the author's thesis and main points?
2.Who is the author, what is his/her authority or background?
3.Who is the author's intended audience?
4.What parts of the subject does the source emphasize or de-emphasize?
5.Is there any bias or slant in the source?
An annotated bibliography describes the field of research on a topic and should include sources that reflect the range of approaches to the subject.
There are four main types of annotations.
DESCRIPTIVE:-
A descriptive (also called an indicative) annotation gives a brief overview or summary of the text. This can include a:
Description of the contents and a statement of the main argument (i.e., what is the book about?)
Summary of the main points; can include topics or chapter titles
EVALUATE:-
An evaluative (also known as a critical) annotation includes an analysis of the work. In addition to a summary of the essential ideas, it provides judgments—negative, positive, or both—about their quality. This kind of annotation usually begins with broad comments about the focus of the source, then moves to more details, and then to your evaluative comments. Some useful points to consider are the:
Work's contribution to the literature of the subject
Way it compares to other works on the topic
Author's qualifications for writing the work / authority of the publisher
Author's bias or tone
Strengths and weaknesses of the text
Accuracy of the information
Intended audience, level of difficulty
Usefulness of the text for your research project or for further study.
INFORMATIVE:-
An informative (also called summative) annotation also provides a summary of the source. Unlike the indicative annotation, however, it gives actual information (hypotheses, proofs, other data) about the source. It contains no statements about the source's relevance to your paper or critical remarks evaluating the source's quality. An informative annotation is neutral and includes the author's:
Thesis
Argument or hypothesis
List of proofs
Conclusion or results.
COMBINATION:-
Most annotated bibliographies are a combination of the above, and include one or two sentences summarizing or describing content, in addition to one or two sentences providing an evaluation.
