You should use some factual information from your book, but remember, this is a critical thinking homework, so include your thoughts, ideas, and hypotheses whether or not there is scientific data to support them. There is no need to use references unless you use something other than the book or class notes. It is also acceptable, and advisable to use first person pronouns in your homework. Have fun with this.
