  • Say where each of your sources comes from (i.e. the names of the journals) and why each source is scholarly.
  • Which scholarly conversation(s) do you see this project participating in (i.e. Education? Psychology? Applied Linguistics? Policy? Something else?) 
  • What were the challenges of finding good information?
  • What were the challenged of understanding what you found?
  • Discuss each of your sources: why do you think that each one would pass the CRAAP test for the audience that you’re trying to reach? 
  • If you were going to use this annotated bibliography to write a research paper, what do you think that your claims would be? 
  • How would the evidence from these sources help you to support those claims? 
  • Who might be interested in your findings? (i.e. teachers, professors, students, the general public, parents, professionals in a particular field, others?) 
  • What more would you like to know about this topic? What other kind of research would you need to do?
  • What’s something that you learned from this project that you can apply the next time you have to do scholarly research? What, if anything, would you do differently next time?
