Baeley has a good skeleton for her annotation. She has focused on the right questions, yet could provide further detail.

Ann Marie explains the utility of her source well, though in a final annotation the student-author would want to demonstrate that they have researched the author's credentials. Sometimes, the usefulness of an article may not be in the facts or details, but rather in how the author helped the student-author "frame" the issue they would tackle in their own argument paper.

Colleen does an effective analysis of the major aspects of her source. Especially useful is her recognition that this source is not a viable cited source for her paper, but is useful in guiding her further, more in-depth research.

Lily offers a detailed, well-written analysis of her source and its rhetorical utility. Also, note that the source is a real, 3-D, detectible through any or all of the five senses, bona fide boooooook.
