Annotated Bibliography due on Friday (50 Points)


Rampolla - the professor who wrote your Writing in History book (used in all Early World History classes) - includes a section on Annotated Bibliographies.  The relevant pages (27-29) are uploaded to my Google Drive HERE.  In the past, students also asked for a WHOLE SAMPLE, so I made one.
