Assignment Directions
A basic component of academic research is annotated bibliography. The annotated bibliography is a list of the sources you have found so far. The list is in alphabetical order as it would be on your reference page and includes a full citation for each source as it would appear on your reference page.
However, in addition, an annotated bibliography includes an annotation for each source, which is basically a summary of the source and some commentary on why the source is useful to your project.
Some steps to consider while developing your annotated bibliography are the following.
1. Revisit the five research questions you developed in the previous assignment. (Listed below) –
2. Then, find content from scholarly sources connected to the research questions. You must find at least one scholarly source per research question.
3. As you research to find scholarly sources, you must (1) make meaningful connections with local examples of environmental injustice in the previous assignment, (2) attempt to answer some of the questions asked abovethe causes, consequences, and strategies of environmental racism, and (3) ensure that there are direct connections to the research questions.
4. Having identified a scholarly source, an annotated bibliography must be provided.

3. Include commentary on why the source is useful and what kind of evidence it adds to your project. Does it add a unique perspective or type of evidence? Explain why you are including it. Make a connection to the specific research question.
