* Research Abstract & Annotated Bibliography *
Submit an abstract of 1-2 paragraphs (250 – 500 words) describing your topic, leading questions, and the approach you will take. In addition to this abstract, provide an annotated bibliography for at least four scholarly research sources and two non-scholarly references. Your chosen research sources will be appropriate for the topic of your research paper. Please use Chicago Style format for your citations. Your annotations should be clearly written, concise, clearly outline the author’s argument, summarize the main points of the text, and briefly state why the source is valuable to your research. An example of an abstract and annotated bibliography will be provided.
