Choose a discussion question that is particularly interesting to you, as well as the article.
Specific guidelines:
- Write a 1-2 page, double spaced reflection about the article. Summarize the main points, then discuss your thoughts and what you learned from it. Make sure to indicate which discussion question you chose, though you do not need to talk about the question in detail.
- Reference list. No assignment is complete without a reference list. Be sure to both cite your article within your reflection, and provide the citation at the end in the form of an APA reference.
- Be creative! Though you must still write in APA-style, this assignment is a less formal reflection of your learning. Find what interests you and tell me about it.
