5- Evaluate sources

The first step is finding 3 sources that would be helpful in preparing your Watchmen final presentation,
so be sure to review the possible topics. This should help you focus on what types of articles that will be
most useful. You should not simply use the first sources you find.
Keep in mind that these academic sources don’t necessarily need to be directly about the particular
work you are researching. You may use history, psychology, sociology, economics, or any approach that
you can clearly apply to your chosen work. After deciding upon 3 sources, you will create an annotated bibliography.
