Reflect

In the Week 2 assignment you began writing two paragraphs of your essay. In Week 3 Discussion 1 you added in-text citations and references to incorporate the research you found. In this assignment you will add the third body paragraph for your Research Topic Short Essay and find one more scholarly or popular source that addresses the third research question. This information is still based on the research you have completed about your topic in the Scholarly Versus Popular Sources discussion forum in Week 2. When you submit this assignment, you will have three paragraphs with in-text citations (using ICE) and three references: either two scholarly and one popular
or one scholarly and two popular.

Write

To complete this assignment, open and review the Week 2: Beginning the Research Paper assignment. Use this document as a starting point for the Week 3 assignment. In this assignment it is expected that you will add a third paragraph to address Research Question 3 and include an in-text citation for each of the three paragraphs. Incorporate your sources in the first two paragraphs using ICE (from Week 3 Discussion 1) and add the third paragraph using the ICE method (Introduce, Cite, and Explain) and a third scholarly or popular source. Add your references on the references page. Each reference should be identified as either a scholarly or popular source within the references page. In total, your paper will consist of three body paragraphs and three references. The introduction and conclusion will not be edited at this point.

Include the following in your paper:

·
APA-formatted essay. Use the document started in Assignment 1 to complete your assignment.

·
Your topic. At the beginning of each of the three paragraphs, state the subtopic that you are writing about. In other words, what is the question you are answering (Hint: Use your information from the Week 1 Choose Your Research Topic discussion forum for this.)? As a reminder, in Week 1 you chose a main topic and developed three questions.

·
Search. Find another popular or scholarly source in the UAGC Library that will answer the final research question. This means that you will have a total of three resources to use for your Research Topic Short Essay in Week 5.

·
ICE. Revise the two existing paragraphs and add the third paragraph to your short essay incorporating ICE. (Hint: Each paragraph is based on a research question you asked in Week 1)
