Write an annotated bibliography for Nancy Cruzan's essay on the right to die.

An
annotated bibliography is a bibliography
that lists all the sources you are using in your paper
and has a short note
below each entry explaining how the source will be used in the paper.

First, you should confirm which citation style you are using, APA,
MLA,
Chicago, or a different one. Then, start gathering sources. It looks
like your instructor is
asking you to use the science database ProQuest, so
it is likely that you will be citing in APA.
The database is a great
resource, as you can search for articles within it and it will have
already
filtered out irrelevant or non-peer reviewed sources. You can be certain that the
search
results are correct and are well researched.

In
order to pick your sources,
it will be helpful to skim the abstracts of the
search results. An abstract is a short synopsis
of the paper's contents. This
way you do not have to read each and every search result, and you
can gather
your sources much more quickly.

Once you have your sources,
start
formatting them in your Works Cited page, and leave space for the
annotations. When your Works
Cited page is complete, go back in and write a
few sentences about each source; explain why you
picked it, how it is
relevant, and how you will use it in your paper.
