You will find an academic website about your topic. Find a museum, university, etc. that will give a scholarly view. No: History.com, Wikipedia, etc. Cite it correctly, and write the annotation.
Answer the following questions in paragraph form. Your annotation should be 200-250 words, double-spaced.
Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is.
Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
