The first part of the paper will be an overview of your topic. You will provide:
    the name of your topic
    the author or authors of your final project
    a description of your target audience
    a description of your topic.
Your choice of a target audience will guide the selection of the resources for your annotated bibliography. How old is your audience? How knowledgeable are they about your particular topic already? Are they of a particular nation, religion, or ethnic group? In other words, describe the demographics of your expected target audience. You will need to choose recommended resources to fit your target audience.
Annotated bibliography of recommended resources for your target audience to learn about your particular topic. Each entry in your annotated bibliography will have:
5.    a reference in APA format
6.    a summary paragraph which describes the recommended resource
7.    an analysis paragraph to describe what your target audience should look for and find useful/informative in this recommended resource
The annotated bibliography is the heart of this final paper. You need to select academically reliable resources which help your target audience learn about your selected topic. You have a summary and an analysis for each resource. You need ten recommended resources.
It is highly recommended that you have a mix of resources from our university library and the Internet. Also, have a mix of multimedia resources and readings. Do not have ten resources solely from the Internet. Do not have ten YouTube videos. Do not have ten scholarly articles. Aim for a balance. I recommend five resources from our library and five resources from the web. Have several visual and/or video resources to view as well as articles to read.  Choose academically reliable resources which are appropriate for your target audience.
