Also note a complete works cited/references is required.  Do not forget to include our class book and the article from the book in the works cited at the very end of the assignment. If you’re using an online citations generator the format should be for an article within a book  (APA Format).  This is a large part of the grading, be sure to include the book and the article from the book with correct formatting in the works cited.  Thank you for your attention to this. (See announcement for the formatting example provided).  
*** PLEASE NOTE DO NOT INCLUDE THE INSTRUCTIONS/QUESTIONS FROM THE ASSIGNMENT , only the responses***
Follow all instructions carefully. Label each response to match the question. Though there are several sections — this is still one assignment — be careful to not split it up. Blackboard will only show me the last submission made for grading — so if only half is submitted, that’s all I’ll be able to grade. 
.  ALL PARTS ARE ONE SUBMITTED — SUBMIT ALL TOGETHER, NOT SEPARATED
