Writing+the+annotated+bibliography

This is a sample from a student's annotated bibliography.
 * __What should my entries to the annotated bibliography look like? __**

The citation, in MLA format, comes first. It is your job to check the annotation against the packet that I've given you to make sure that all of the information is in the right spot.

The annotation comes second and should contain the following in the paragraph: Lastly, the student concludes the paragraph with a statement about whether or not the source should be used in further research.  @Get Started!
 * The first part of the paragraph contains SPECIFIC information from the source. The audience should be able to know a few details from the source that shows the person's positive impact on society.
 * This annotation contains information about Mr. Fox's raising 289 million dollars for Parkinson's research and how his dedication to the cause has yielded humanitarian awards.
 * The second part of the annotation contains the evaluation of the source. This student author discusses:
 * the value/relevance of the source because it supports the research topic
 * the bias of the source because it's an organization attempting to persuade people to donate money
 * and the accuracy of the source because they cross referenced. The only problem is that they don't say what sources they used to double check the information. In order to get the most points possible, I'll be looking for an explanation about how the student confirmed the information (i.e. what you did and what you found to confirm the information).

Below is a generic rubric that I will use to evaluate every annotation. Please read and comply with the criteria to get the best grade possible.
