Questions about an assignment should typically be directed to your lecturer. However, the Annotated bibliography page (see link below) in the Learning Skills guide provides a brief definition:
An annotated bibliography ... adds an annotation or comment after each resource. Usually the comment looks to describe the resource and will usually offer an evaluation in terms of relevance, quality or usefulness.
Regarding format, the references should be formatted correctly for the style you are using, e.g. Chicago or APA. Each reference will be followed by an annotation. The length and type of the annotation should be defined in your assignment details but most often they combine a summary and evaluation of each source.
Further general information and examples are provided in the Successful Academic Writing and Purdue links below, but be sure to follow the assignment rubric and any specific instructions from your lecturer when completing your assignment.
