Abstract
This worksheet is meant to help students better understand the purpose of an annotated bibliography. The student is tasked with listing three songs they would include on a summer playlist, and provide their reasoning for including each song. The worksheet states that students can’t use a reason for more than one song (for example, if they include a song because the word “summer” is in the title, they can’t use that same reason for including another song). The songs can be from any genre, any time period, and they can interpret “Summer Songs” however they wish. This worksheet was created to be filled out and turned in before a break. That way, the instructor can go over the answers and discuss those that best exemplify why and how we use sources. This exercise would be best for 100 or 200-level classes, or classes where students' knowledge of annotated bibliographies are emerging (in accordance with the GVSU Libraries stats rubric).
