Throughout your academic career, you will be asked to conduct thorough research. The final product such as an outline requires a careful synthesis of the sources to support a thesis. You will select a speech topic and find five required sources that include: 1.) one e-book, 2.) one magazine article, 3.) one newspaper article, 4.) one internet article, and 5.) either a journal article, newspaper article, internet article, or magazine article (choose only one here in #5). The sources must be in APA format and followed by a paragraph summary for each. 

**No Wikipedia on the annotated bibliography. It is a way to get background information and students can go to the original source with the links found in the references but DO NOT INCLUDE in the assignment
