After you have identified your sources, you need to write the corresponding annotations. In a large, single-spaced paragraph (~100-200 words), write a short annotation for each source. This annotation should explain the scholar’s view on the passage and the evidence used to support those claims. Arrange each source with its annotation in alphabetical order into a bibliography. Use MLA, APA, Chicago, or SBL Style. (Points will be deducted for errors in citation.) The best-annotated bibliographies will make use of at least 5 high quality, relevant resources.

After you have completed the annotated bibliography, it is time to reflect on the scholarly conversation that you have been observing. Summarize the trends of scholarship on your passage. What do most scholars agree on? At which points do they disagree? Where do you locate your own voice in the conversation? With which scholars do you tend to agree, and why? You need not agree with them (in some cases you definitely should not), but they may offer insights that you have not considered. This brief summary of the scholarship should be 400-500 words.
