Articulate a clear statement about what you want to write about. This is your working thesis (hypothesis).
Decide on a title that is concise, descriptive, and specific.
Cite the source in proper Chicago format. The citations should be organized in alphabetical order by author just as in a Chicago References page.
Follow with a brief annotation that summarizes the source (approx. 3 sentences). You may quote from the source, but do not copy and paste the abstract. Ideally, all of the annotation should be in your own words.
In 1 or 2 sentences, explain the source’s relevance and importance to your issue.
