Purpose of the Annotated Bibliography
Before you start your action research project you need to find out what other research has been done on the issues it relates to, which will then influence how you conduct your own project. An annotated bibliography might include sources that provide: 1) background on the issues, 2) evidence 3) arguments or 4) methods. A good annotation is not simply a descriptive summary of the article, rather it is a critical summary of the article which includes discussion of how this work contributes (or will contribute) to your project.
