For EACH SOURCE you need to give the bibliographic information for the source (this is the same information that you would include in a works cited entry for the source) followed immediately by a short summary of about 75 to 125 words that gives the main points of the source. You then will have a brief paragraph of three to five sentences that evaluates the source.
Is it current? Reliable? Well researched? You will then have two to three sentences that explain how you will use the source or how it relates to your working .
