Be sure to keep track of all your sources. As you conduct your research,
don't forget to gather the necessary bibliographical information. I am interested
in all the sources that youve consulted for your information (i.e. books,
articles, videos, internet sites). For Part III, you will submit an annotated
bibliography, which means, in addition to the typical bibliographical citation
(author, title, city, publisher, year), you need to also provide a brief explanation
of how each source helped you. You need a minimum of three sources. Dont
limit yourself to the internet.
