Read instructions thoroughly.
Select 4 questions from the following 10 questions taken from your text and prepare a 400 word response for each of your selected questions.
(You can use the First Person – “I”).
To maintain an academic approach to this final, your answers will incorporate 3 scholarly sources for each question.
Your text can be used as one of your sources to contextualize, illustrate and substantiate your answers.
Other sources can include documentaries, scholarly online information from professional associations and governmental organizations, journals, newspapers, magazines and books.
Therefore, whether you paraphrase (which should be most times) or directly quote the work of others, you must formally cite all sources (APA or MLA).
Since your response is only 400 words – if you do directly quote someone, make sure it is a very brief quote.
Please provide a work cited page/reference list after each question.
