Article notes must be a minimum of 400 words in length (not including your name, my

citation at the top.Number each articleArticle notes are similar to an annotated
bibliography. An annotated bibliography outlines the article and includes a narrative of the
key points and/or frameworks presented in the article.It is expected that your notes are
