Assignment III

ASSIGNMENT III: Research Paper Critique (100 points): Write a short paper 2-3 pages reviewing a research article related to child welfare. THIS ARTICLE MUST COME FROM A SOCIAL WORK JOURNAL. I highly recommend Child Welfare which contains generally up- to-date and informative articles about the world of child welfare. Other possible journals would be Social Work, Social Science Review, Children and Youth Services Review, Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal, etc. This paper should consist of a summary of the article and your reaction to the article. The summary should consist of the major points made in the article and your reaction should include not only whether you agree or don’t agree with the major points of the article and why, but also how you can connect the article to some of the reading we have done. For instance, if it’s an article on preventing Teen Pregnancy, you will want to look at the issues surrounding Teen Pregnancy in your textbook and indicate to what extent the article either amplifies on information in your textbook, is an example of something in your textbook, or provides an alternative viewpoint to something in your textbook. Please plan to turn in a copy of the article with your paper.
