Annotation Types
What an annotation includes depends on your project. Sometimes you are called upon to only summarize, sometimes you are called upon to analyze
Summarize: You may be called upon to summarize your source.
Analyze: More likely, you will need to analyze your source as a step in deciding whether to include it in your paper or project.
See Examples of both types here:

Annotation Types
Descriptive: mainly summarizes a source. Does not offer analytical or critical analysis
These are usually short summaries for each item in bibliography
Analytical Annotation
Analytical/Critical:
NOT a summary.
Analyzes authors’ arguments. Provides critical examination of the material presented
