This is a Social Psychology class and this is a Persuasive Editorial. I will attach 2
different instruction papers.
1. the first instructions list is a general editorial instruction list, which just
describes what the professor expects to be in the paper based on the layout & how
the paper should written such as form a thesis statement & fun title for editorial, it’s a persuasive paper so there must be an point the author is trying toconvince the readers to believe, use counterarguments in the paper, use real-life event scenarios, put facts
from research or studies done on the thesis, etc.
2. the second instructions are what the editorial topic should be about. There are
several questions on the instructions page that the Professor wants in the editorial. In other words, all of the questions on the instructions sheet need to be answered in the editorial. On the bottom of the instructions page, the Professor has suggested topics
to focus on for the thesis argument for the editorial. Pick one of those suggestions or
you can use your own but there needs to be peer-reviewed sources to back up topics.
3. For the 4 sources:
a. the first one will be the class e-book is located at
https://nobaproject.com/textbooks/new-textbook-85ab2831-df95-4ace-99ff-a115b94be5d9/modules/helping-and-prosocial-behavior#:~:text=act%20to%20benefit-,other,-people%2C%20and%20these
The apa reference is located at bottom of the notes but it is as follows:
Poepsel, D. L. & Schroeder, D. A. (2023). Helping and prosocial behavior. In R. Biswas-Diener & E. Diener (Eds), Noba textbook series: Psychology. Champaign, IL: DEF publishers. Retrieved from http://noba.to/tbuw7afg
etc where either an individual or group helped or didn’t help that you find to use in the editorial based on the topic & thesis you decide to write
about
d. 4th source should be one that you find that has facts about research
or studies done of topic & some counterargument examples to put in
editorial
Note: you can use extra or less sources if you either find all the information that’s needed to put in the editorial in less sources or if you need extra sources in order to find all the neccessary info for the editorial. Please however make sure the e-book in used and at least one other
peer-reviewed source
one last thing is I will attach the rubic the professor uses to grade
edirorial please look at it to make sure everything she is looking for when grading is in editorial. Thanks.
