You will have the choice to complete a paper, presentation, and/or brochure.
Papers will be graded for accuracy of interpretation, rigor of argument, and clarity of expression.
Papers should be 3-5 pages in length and written in proper APA format. Presentations and brochures still must have a cover or title slide and the references listed at the end.
Your question is:
As you reflect on your social studies vision and practice and information from the readings, explain what is currently missing in your approach. Explain how and why you will update your approach.
