Annotated Bibliography

Create an annotated bibliography for the five sources identified and evaluated in the attached worksheet, in which you:

·         Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style.

·         Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic of  Standardize testing: Research Question: Is standardized testing a good measurement of knowledge for the student as well as the success of the teacher?.

·         Identify whether the article is credible and useful.

·         Ensure each source includes four parts: author or organization, publication date, title, and how to find it. If you have trouble finding these details, then re-evaluate the credibility of your source. If needed, include page number as a fifth part.

1. Purpose of the research
2. Problem statement
3. Research question
4. Gaps in the literature
5. Theoretical framework
6. Research method or design Qualitative 
7. Findings and conclusion
