INSTRUCTIONS:
You will be graded on both accuracy and writing quality.Identify each of the following components of the assigned article. You should answer each question separately. Your answers must be in complete sentences, use correct grammar and punctuation, not include sentence fragments, and contain no misspellings. All work must be in your own words: quotes from the readings are not acceptable. You must be able to put the argument and ideas into your own words (paraphrase). Your assignment must be double spaced, in 12 point font, and use 1 inch margins. You must use APA citation format for any in-text citations and/or the “Works Cited” section at the end of your essay (view guidelines for APA formatting ).Take some time to refresh your writing skills. I have posted several resources for writing . Remember that the aim of your writing is clarity, and simple is often better than complex Sentences that are too long (4 or more ‘clauses’ or parts) may confuse the reader. If a simpler, more direct word works to make your point as well as a $5 “SAT” word, use the simpler one. Use technical terms correctly and only when needed. Learn what they mean, how to use them and how to spell them. Do not use contractions (isn’t, doesn’t, it’s). There is no specific length requirement for this assignment, but be sure to answer each question fully.Your assignment must include a bibliography, with citations listed in APA format. In this case, it will be only the assigned reading (unless you supplement with other readings).READ: Wander, K., & Mattison, S. M. (2013).
