Here's what you need to know about roboscoring:
1. Write enough - multi-paragraph essays in which the majority of the content is in your own words.
2. Use ALL the sources - pull small quotes from the sources with citations and/or make reference to the sources by name.
3. EXPLAIN your quotes and references!
4. Use vocabulary and sentence structure appropriate to a high school student.
5. You cannot indent your paragraphs (the tab does not work). Skip lines between paragraphs instead.

Doing a good quality annotated bibliography will make writing your paper easier, and it is an important skill to have in college classes.
