    Find an article or infographic that relates to the unit in class that you are interested in.

    Answer the following questions based on what you chose to read:

    1. Briefly summarize the article or infographic.


    2. Evaluate the source. Is it reliable? What are the credentials of the author or group who
    published?
    3. Analyze the science in the article. Is the information supported? Find two reliable sources that
    support this point of view.
    4. How does this article relate to the unit you are studying?
    5. Have a discussion with someone about the article (it can be anyone and it does not matter if
    they read it or not). Who did you discuss it with? What did you discuss?
    6. Reference the article and the reliable sources using APA.

    The final assignment should be no more than 1 page (not including works cited). It can be a report or an
    essay.
