Using your own words, provide a
clear and concise summary of the article, including the
major points and conclusions.
Discussion
In your
own words, discuss each of the following points:
a. How the cited work relates to your above explanation AND how it relates specifically
to the content of the assigned module. This part of your thread provides
evidence that you have extended your understanding of this key term beyond the
textbook readings. (100 word minimum)
b. How the cited work relates to the other 4 works you researched. This part of
your thread provides evidence that you have refined your research key term to a
coherent and specialized aspect of the key term, rather than a random selection
of works on the key term. The idea here is to prove that you have focused your research
and that all works cited are related in some manner to each other rather than
simply a collection of the first 5 results from your Internet search. (100
word minimum)

articles (as described above), in current APA format, must be
