Assignment Guidelines

• This assignment includes a group component and an individual component.

• The group component consists of group members working together to develop an

overview of RTI.

• The individual component consists of each group member presenting either a

benefit or challenge to implementing RTI. A four-person group should divide up

responsibilities so that the group addresses two benefits and two challenges,

while a three-person group should address an appropriate combination of

benefits and challenges that total 3 altogether (e.g., one benefit and two

challenges, or two benefits and one challenge). See RTI Assignment Format below.

• For this assignment, you will be required to review professional, peer-reviewed journal

articles related to RTI. You must use in-text citations to reference your ideas and

provide one references page that includes all sources used by the group (use APA 7th

ed. formatting).

Tips for Wri8ng Paragraphs

o Paragraphs should begin with a key or topic sentence that states the main point of the

paragraph simply. This sentence should provide a context for the reader to understand

what is to follow. The paragraph should then be developed to include details explaining,

and evidence supporting, the topic sentence.

o If a paragraph seems to have two key points and both are relevant to your argument,

write one paragraph for each point.
