The Final Round Begins...Speeches #3

Okay...today is the day. I have to get up and talk about baseball. I hate my life. Here I go...

My stomach hurts today...sigh. I think this speech is giving me an ulcer. Perhaps I should have skipped today. 

...

We have started talking about annotated bibliographies. Those are not my friend. I hate them, and do not want to do it. Good thing I am not a communications or English major...right?!

Think about these things when you are using sources for your bibliography:

Main Topic?

Main Resource?

Main Argument?

Credible?

Reliable?

How does it compare to sources in the field or in your bibliography?

Is there bias?
