2.  Find one scholarly article related to your topic and read it.

A word about plagiarism:  When you submit homework to an instructor, you are saying, "Unless I have noted otherwise with a citation, this is my own original work; these are my own words and my own original ideas."  Reading the article, understanding it, interpreting it, and creating a summary in your own words is part of the work of learning.  Using someone else's words is like saying "I did this work" when you really didn't.  Use this assignment as an opportunity to work on your skills of reading and summarizing.

Workspace: Please begin your assignment below. Follow APA format (double space, no bold font, in-text citations) and make sure and use complete sentences, grammar, and spelling. You do not need a title page or headers but you must include your reference at the end.
