EQ: How do I write an annotation?
The purpose of the annotation paragraph is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited -- in short -- you are asked to comment on and/or explain why each source cited is useful. An annotation should be 100-150 words.
- WHO -- Who wrote it and why does this person have authority on the topic?
- WHAT -- What did it say? Summarize & comment on the article; compare or contrast this work with another you have cited -- does it agree or disagree?
- WHY -- Explain why you think this article is a good addition to your research. Also, comment on the intended audience -- who was the intended audience and most importantly why was it written.
Copy this paragraph and work on the ordering of the sentences. What order should these sentences go in?

expect illegal immigrants to fight for a country that is not theirs.
