Notes on theories

· Key points, authors, dates, examples, models, concepts

Remarks

· Reflections, critiques, connections, conclusions

· Note that all of these are examples- you do not have to include three of each, but that is the maximum you should include.

· Bullets 10-12 are examples to show you how the theories and arguments can be linked together. These exact examples do not have to be included, but comparisons/contrasts should be made.
