How much is social media to blame for amplifying misinformation

How much is social media to blame for amplifying misinformation? After you choose a question, your assignment is to find 5 credible sources that present an answer to your question. You cannot use the articles provided as one of your sources. For each article you will write a 3 paragraph entry. Each entry should begin with an MLA formatted citation for your source. Then, you should write three separate paragraphs, in the following order:

Summarize: What are the main arguments of the article? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is. In this part of the annotated bibliographic entry, you do not present your judgments, evaluations, etc. You are only presenting a condensed version of the content.

Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source? In this part of the annotated bibliography, you offer your assessment of the content. How do you know this is a credible source?

Reflect: Once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How might it help you shape an argument? Has it changed how you think about your topic? In this part of the annotated bibliography you present your ideas about how to use the material. Your annotated bibliography should have 5 sources, and at least 1 of them should be scholarly (also known as “peer-reviewed”) sources. Remember that the tag “scholarly” only applies to specific kinds of sources.

An article can be credible and still not considered “scholarly.” Each entry should be about 300 words. Thus, the full document should annotate 5 sources, be 15 total paragraphs, and be no less than 1500 words long.
