Question

Using the topic you selected from for this project, you will now find 4 scholarly secondary sources that you can use in the upcoming final paper. For each of these 4 sources you will do the following: 1. Create a references page citation, conforming to the citation style you wish to use (APA, MLA, or Chicago/Turabian). 2. Write a paragraph summarizing the main points of the source. What does it tell you about your topic? Does the author show any biases? 3. Write a second paragraph explaining how you intend to use this source in your upcoming paper. In other words, how does this source help you to understand your topic?
