• Who was studied in the research?

• What was the research question that was answered by the information in the article?

b) RESEARCH:

• What research methods were used?

• Summarize the process researchers used to collect data.

c) LEARN:

• What were the key findings of the research?

• What conclusion was drawn from the research?

d) DO:

• What follow-up question would you now like to ask and research based on this article?

• Why did you choose this follow-up question?

PART B: MAKE CONNECTIONS

1) Use your article review to help answer the questions below. You should write two paragraphs, one for each question.

a) How can you apply the key research findings to your own life?

b) What are two additional questions that you have about society based on this research?

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Use Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

• Use section headers (Ask, Research, Learn, Do, and Make Connections) and write left indented paragraphs under each corresponding section.

• References are not required for this assignment as you will use one of the assigned articles and your webtext.
