For this assignment, you are to use 1) your textbook; and, 2) at least one other outside source (You may want to use more than one outside source, and that will be great!).  You are to provide APA Style citations in the paragraphs of your essay, and you are to have a Reference Section at the end of your essay in which you list the bibliographic information about your sources in APA Style.   This means that you will have at least two references, including your textbook and one outside source, and possibly more if you use additional outside sources, which is always recommended. Every paragraph needs to include at least one APA citation in it.  

DO NOT include any direct quotations from any source.  Do not copy any information directly from any source.  Put everything into your own words, and then cite and reference the sources appropriately.    In each of your six paragraphs, you need to have at least one citation (and hopefully more than one) that corresponds to one of the references that will be listed in your Reference Section at the end of the essay. As you read the following six questions, you'll no doubt recognize them as being questions that are ordinarily just personal reflection questions, but in this assignment, I'm asking for you to not only reflect personally on the questions, but I'm also asking you to kick it up a notch, to raise the caliber of your responses to a more academic level by including information from sources to make your responses more substantive and "meaty". In other words, you may start with a brief statement or two reflecting your personal, "first person" response, but then, you need to follow up those statements by including research-based information to support what you have said.  By doing so, that in itself will demonstrate your development in thinking, reflecting, and writing, something which I hope that this course is helping you to achieve :)
