Using the approved topic, you will create an annotated bibliography that is at least 6–7 full and
complete pages of original discussion and narrative–excluding the title page and reference list–
that utilizes at least 8 scholarly articles from peer-reviewed journals, published within the past 5
years. Once approved by the instructor, these 8 articles may be used again on the Literature
Review: Part 3 – Final Submission Assignment.

References may not come from websites, blogs, newspapers, books, textbooks, dictionaries,
conference proceedings, magazines, dissertations or theses.
