Annotated Bibliography??

Is this the right way to annotate? I feel totally lost.


This video was produced as part of a video cast for SourceCode, a weekly, half-hour news-magazine program airing exclusively on Free Speech TV. Archived shows are available on their website, where I found this show which focuses on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The Food Not Bombs segment of the show This source will definitely help with my paper, since its shows quite clearly how Food Not Bombs is able to step in and make effective change even when other organizations can't. Also, it shows that FNB is dedicated to feeding any and all people who need it, not simply the homeless, which makes them a more broad reaching organization. There is of course bias in the video, since it was made by a young activist who would obviously identify with the organization and its members more than an outside would. However, the information pertained within is for the most part impartial, and therefore worthwhile for my paper.

Yup. You address all the main criteria: credibility, where you got it, why it is important for your paper, how you plan to use it, and what it is. all you have to do now is put the citation at the top of the annotation. Pick which citation system you think will be appropriate: MLA, Chicago, or APA. I'd probably go for MLA with this subject matter.
