You will select one article from each designated folder at three points during the semester. On a graphic organizer template, you will provide the following information for each article: 3 key concepts, 1 analytical paragraph showing connections and applications, 1 quote from each source worthy of class discussion, and 3 questions to spark discussion. Provide proper citation in APA-6 style for each article.
