Annotation Types

What an annotation includes depends on your project. Sometimes you are called upon to only summarize, sometimes you are called upon to analyze

Summarize: You may be called upon to summarize your source.

Analyze: More likely, you will need to analyze your source as a step in deciding whether to include it in your paper or project.

See Examples of both types here:

Annotation Types

Descriptive: mainly summarizes a source. Does not offer analytical or critical analysis

These are usually short summaries for each item in bibliography

Analytical Annotation

Analytical/Critical:

NOT a summary.

Analyzes authors’ arguments. Provides critical examination of the material presented
