• Go to the Annotated Bibliographies Folder on the Student Work part of the course site

• Step 2: Create a new page. 
• Start the process of creating a new page. You can do this by going to the tab at the top and clicking "New."  When asked for a name for the page, create a name in the format, "Jane Smith - Annotated Bibliography"
   
• Before you actually click the button to create the  page, choose one of the pre-made templates for the page.  In this case, choose the Annotated Bibliographies template:

Method 2:

• If you create your page first without a template, then you can cut-and-paste into the page the section between dotted lines below. (This is what would have been put automatically on your new page according to Method 1 above.)
  
• Page Naming Convention: Example: "Bibliography by Alan Liu"
