Blog Post #4

When i started to look for sources for my research topic i thought that it would be easy to find a lot of good information on ants and their contribution to our environment and society. This proved to be harder than i expected, I started out by trying to find some sources on some of the schools databases. All of the results that i found  were either too broad or too specific and it was really hard trying to find a good middle ground.49318491

 

After while of searching i was finally able to find a good source to use, this was a relief because this source had an extensive works cited that included several other helpful sources. this was a great catalyst toward writing my annotated and will probably be very helpful when i am finding information for the rest of my paper.49318869

After i found these sources the rest of the annotated bibliography went pretty smoothly. i was able to create a free account on noodletools.com which formatted the sources into a works cited page and then i just highlighted major points in each article and summarized their purpose. This annotated  bibliography seems like it will be a pretty good aid while writing my final essay and will definitely be useful in starting the essay and organizing my thoughts. After finishing the bibliography i think i have a better idea of what my stance will be on.
