In-text citations from at least one additional source [This could include one of the YouTube videos or documents included in the weekly modules or something you find on your own.] *If you find a website on your own, it must end in .org, .edu, or .gov or come from a peer-reviewed journal.
Reference Page
At least 2 pages in length, NOT including title and reference pages (Yes, this means you could go over 2 pages if you would like.)

When you are comparing and contrasting, you should elaborate (refer to rubric)
