The Four Sections for Each Annotation
Part 1: The Précis: In this section, you will provide a descriptive summary of the material. To
observe a video tutorial that takes you through the process of summarizing an article in a
descriptive manner, click here.
You will want to include the author’s main claim in the article as well as any sub-claims. In
addition, please include the types of evidence the author uses to support this claim, including
what data/facts/evidence the author uses to justify the claims of the article. Finally, you will
want to mention the interpretations that this author arrives at through the claims and evidence
and the points or conclusions she presents. You may use the first-person point of view (“I”) in
your précis.
Your précis for each article should be 100-150 words.
Part 2: Vocabulary: In this section, you will select key terms that were used in the article or
words with which you were unfamiliar. You don’t need to include definitions of these terms;
however, you should look up their definitions for your own benefit.
You should come up with 5-10 vocabulary terms for each article.
Part 3: Reflection: In this section, you will describe your opinion about what the author has
stated in the article. Please state whether you agree, disagree, or agree on some points and
disagree on others. You can mention any criticisms, questions, or comments you have on the
author’s methods of research. In addition, include any unanswered questions you have as a
result of having read the article carefully. Include items or concepts that you do not understand,
information you would need to have in order to better understand the article, etc. You will, of
course, use the first-person point of view (“I”) in this part of the reflective annotated
bibliography.
Your reflection section for each article should be 100-150 words.
Part 4: Quotables: In this section, you will insert direct quotations from the article that you
feel exemplify its claims or interpretations. You can also include sentences in which the author
stated his or her claims exceptionally well. Please include page number(s) where you found the
quotes. Moreover, please place quotation marks around the chosen phrase and make sure you
cite the phrase verbatim.
Your quotables section for each article should contain 4-8 quotes.
