topic For your discipline-focused controversial issue paper, prepare a bibliography consisting of five sources (scholarly articles) with accompanying annotations. Please use the APA style of documentation, modeling your bibliography after the example given to you in class, on the web, and in your textbooks.  Three of the five scholarly or professional journal articles that must come from Shaw’s Library’s online databases

Format Must be typed and double-spaced. Each annotation will include the following:  correctly formatted APA citation  brief summary, including main idea and supporting points (4-6 sentences)  at least one quotation from the source that ties into your summary or evaluation of the article  appropriate parenthetical documentation (In-text citation)for quoted material (use APA style).  author’s background, including professional experience and other publications (1-2 sentences)  evaluation of the article itself (how it is written), including the author’s use of sufficient evidence from credible sources, bias, and consideration of the opposing point of view (1-2 sentences)  explanation of how you will you use this source in your essay (1 sentence)

The bibliography will be arranged in alphabetical order, double-spaced, and include roughly 1 source per page. See below for a sample entry.
