Annotated Bibliography
Summarize each of the three current academic, peer-reviewed journal articles you chose, using the annotated bibliography organizational format. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to document a list of references along with key information about each one. The detail about the reference is the annotation. Developing this annotated bibliography will create a foundation of knowledge about the selected topic. In your annotated bibliography:

- Present your three current, annotated references in alphabetical order, according to the reference citation.
- Double-space each reference and format it with a hanging indent.
- Provide the full APA reference citation, including the author, date, title, publisher or publication, and any additional information required by APA style.
- Write the annotation (summary) for each citation in paragraph form, using approximately 150 words (or 1–3 paragraphs) for each citation. Make sure to cite the article in your summary. Include the following components for each annotation:
- Identify the purpose of the article.
- Summarize the article.
- Include the conclusions and findings of the article.
