MLA states that it’s acceptable to use concise phrases rather than grammatically complete sentences in your annotations. They cover how concise you need to be and what exactly you should write about your sources.
MLA gives some guidelines for writing the annotations themselves. If there are two or more paragraphs, indent the first line of each paragraph, including the first, an additional half-inch (so those lines are indented 1.5 inches in total).If the annotation is only one paragraph long, there’s no additional indent for the start of the paragraph.The whole annotation is indented 1 inch from the left margin to distinguish it from the 0.5 inch hanging indent of the source entry. The annotation follows on the next line, also double-spaced and left-aligned. The source information is presented and formatted in the same way as in a normal Works Cited entry: Sources are usually organized alphabetically, like in a normal Works Cited list, but can instead be organized chronologically or by subject depending on the purpose of the assignment. The list should be titled either “Annotated Bibliography” or “Annotated List of Works Cited.” You may be told which title to use “bibliography” is normally used for a list that also includes sources you didn’t cite in your paper or that isn’t connected to a paper at all.
