response paper that contains at least three research sources. These sources should come
ONLY from the GMC library databases or resources provided in class. Your completed
bibliography should be at least 500 words.1) For each source, you will first provide an MLA-

paragraph-length annotation. An annotation is a brief summary of the source’s main ideas
or points and may also include a sentence or two about how/why you think this source is
relevant to your idea or helpful for your paper. In addition, somewhere within your
annotation paragraph, include a quotation from the source that you think might be useful
