Assignment: In 500 words or more, please react to the current week’s readings. (I have attached the current module’s readings to this order). Please be mindful of the example citations.
Here are some suggested prompts:
- What are the arguments the authors are making?
- What evidence is used to support those arguments?
- As you synthesize these arguments, what are the key points of agreement and disagreement across the pieces and videos?
All written work is expected to be submitted in APA style following the 7th APA manual.
Please use APA format and support all assertions with citations.
Example of citations:
Do not do this: Gottlieb (2018) and Smith (2021) say cats are nice to play with outside.
PERFECT: Cats are nice to play with outside (Gottlieb, 2018; Smith, 2021).
