Paper:

The paper is to be between 2,000 and 2,500 words.  It must be formatted using APA style. A least five scholarly resources must be utilized.  Scholarly resources include journal articles in peer reviewed journals, textbooks, and Educational and Government websites.  Wikipedia, message boards, blogs, and commercial websites are not scholarly.  While you can cite a commercial website, it will not count as one of the scholarly sources.  The paper will be evaluated using plagiarism scanning technology, so be careful to include citations and follow APA procedures when dealing with direct quotes.  It is expected that one of the five sources will be your text.

Presentation:

Using the information learned during researching the research paper create a PowerPoint presentation summarizing your findings. The PowerPoint should support a 10-minute presentation.  Avoid slides with many words on it.  One tip is to not use a font smaller than 20 point.
