=DEFINE YOUR TASK= What is an [|annotated bibliography]? What purpose does it serve? What is the ** assignment criteria ** ? What **type and amount of information** will need to get the job done? Begin your research by doing "**presearch**," reading background information to **get a feel for your topic.** While you read, create a **topic web** to help **define/refine your research question** (your purpose!!) and ultimately, your thesis statement. Take note of interesting contrasts, comparisons or patterns that emerge as you read various sources. Is there anything that surprises you about the topic, or makes you wonder why? Do you strongly agree or disagree with the idea or claim of an expert?
