Annotated Bibliography and IRR Concepts

The video tutorial explains the Individual Research Report (IRR), a 1200-word essay that helps organize research and potential solutions before a team presentation. It emphasizes the importance of perspectives over arguments, the role of annotated bibliographies, and the structure of the introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction should include a hook, context, question, and significance. Body paragraphs can be organized by perspective, weaving perspectives, or topically. The conclusion synthesizes perspectives and may suggest solutions. The IRR serves as a foundation for team presentations.
