The length of your annotations will determine the degree of detail of your summary.2.Assess. Is it a useful source? How does it support the focus of your paper? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?3.Reflect. Ask how this source fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument?
