1. How can an annotated bibliography help you write the intro and lit review sections in your own paper? I think it can help you write your introduction because once you have your anno bib and are comfortable with the focus of your paper. It will help with your literature review section because it’s about the information your found important and you could just plug it right in. We can only benefit from this because your literature review is a conversation between the research that supports your topic.

A researcher must critically analyze their sources and make sure that there is some proof to their research.
