NHD Requires that all citations include an ANNOTATION.
Use these questions and prompts to write good annotations
An annotation in Noodletools looks something like this:
Morris, Edmund. Theodore Rex. New York: Modern Library, 2001.
This biography of Theodore Roosevelt helped me understand the way in which Philippe Bunau Varilla was able to get President Roosevelt to recognize the revolutionary government of Panama. It also gave me details regarding the specific treaties signed between the two nations that gave the U.S. control of the canal zone.
While NHD does not specify how many sources you must use in your research, a suggested number would be around 20-25. Additionally, you should have around TWICE AS MANY PRIMARY SOURCES AS SECONDARY SOURCES.
