    Instructions: You will be working on your PPD in this document. You can visit my site for
    guidance on selecting a topic. I have created this copy for you so I can provide you with
    feedback and keep track. Once we are done with the presentations these must be placed on
    ManageBac. I usually do that.

    Remember the total word count cannot exceed 500 words. The title does not count. Add up the
    words in each section.

    You should aim to:

    ● Describe one real life situation


    ● Formulate a clear knowledge question
    ● Identify & explore perspectives in relation to the knowledge question
    ● Relate the findings back to the knowledge questions
    ● Demonstrate that the analysis is relevant to other real life situations

    Title:
