As emphasized in the first step, it's important to know what style of writing your instructor requires. The most common types are: MLA; APA; and Chicago Style. Step two explains that annotations often summarize, evaluate, and determine relevance for a source. The combination annotation is the most common type because it addresses all three of these things. In the third step, samples for the three most common types of writing styles are available. Formatting is important to your overall assignment so make sure you're doing it correctly!
For any of the writing styles, format as you normally would, but follow specific instructions for formatting the annotated bibliography. The page is titled: Annotated Bibliography.
In MLA Style, follow the current formatting instructions for MLA, which include double-spacing throughout with one-inch margins. Sources will be listed alphabetically with annotations directly beneath the citation. Indent so that the author's name is the only text flush left.
