Instruction
This assignment consists of two parts and you are required to prepare and submit two (2) separate documents as part of this activity. You will prepare and submit an annotated bibliography of three sources from the research you will gather for your research paper. You will also prepare and submit a draft of your research paper outline.
First, refer to any instructor provided feedback from your Module 6 Reseach Paper Topic Selection to ensure that your topic has been approved. Should you need to select another country to avoid duplication, be sure to do so by the second day of this module week!
Next, search the Hunt Library databases (https://guides.erau.edu/az.php) and locate three (3) sources on your idea, invention, or technology topic that has had an impact on world culture. These sources will come from books, book chapters, peer-reviewed scholarly journals, reports, and other scholarly sources. Wikipedia and other similar sources without named authors are prohibited. Create a Descriptive Annotated Bibliography in current APA format listing each of your three sources.
