Assignment Preparation
When we write academic texts, we frequently need to use sources to support our claims or to inform an audience. While the audience may vary, and the sources may be wildly different from the texts we write in our daily lives, the ways we collect and cite them in our papers is not that different from the ways we talk about the events and news of our daily lives, or the ways you may be familiar with citing events in a field report at work.

You will begin this week and next week to create the first stages of a working annotated bibliography that you will come back to later. You will submit this first stage version for feedback next week, and then revisit it in Unit 7 to continue building it with more sources for your project.

We will use APA format for the structural formatting of the academic writing we do in our classes here at Capella, and that includes the ways we cite our sources. See The Annotated Bibliography resource on Campus for help in developing your annotated bibliography. This is one of many methods of structuring a document and citing sources. It is based upon guidelines presented by the American Psychological Association, and many organizations and businesses use it as their model for presenting information and structuring documents, as well, since the date of publication is one of its primary ways of determining the value of sources.

When we conduct research, we have many different sources that we must read through and determine whether or not they hold value for us as writers and researchers. One way to manage our research is to keep a record of what we have read and what those items contain. One such record is an annotated bibliography. Most researchers find it helpful to begin an annotated bibliography at the beginning of their research journey, when they first have the idea of a topic.

To that end, you are invited to join the community of researchers and to create your own annotated bibliography for your future research project in this course. For our research project later this term, we will be returning to the Boston Globe's Timeline: Jared Remy's Troubled Past. 

Look ahead to the instructions in the Unit 5 assignment, Creating an Annotated Bibliography. As you start your research, begin to compile your annotated bibliography.

Instructions
The annotated bibliography begins with a two-step process. Create a cover page, then on the second page, create an APA formatted bibliographic entry for the Boston Globe's timeline, linked in Resources. You will also need to annotate the entry. This means that after the bibliographic entry, you will need to write a short paragraph (about 2–5 sentences) that summarizes the story for you, the researcher, to know what the text was about when you return to your bibliography at a later date. Understand that researchers frequently work in teams or share their annotated bibliographies publicly in other ways or for other purposes, so your annotation should be one that is understood by other researchers, as well as your instructor in this case.

You should then find at least one other source about the Jared Remy case that you can add to the annotated bibliography. You may search the Capella University Library or search the Internet to find this article. The article should shed new light on the case in some way. In other words, it should not simply provide the same information that the timeline already provides to you, having been written by a different author. Add a citation to the annotated bibliography in complete APA reference list format, followed by your short annotation for this article. Then submit the first part of your annotated bibliography.

Follow the guidelines presented on Campus for creating an annotated bibliography, linked in Resources. Also be sure to meet the following requirements:

Requirements
