feature analysis from the author on the issue about which the author is writing.
You will choose an article about which you
disagree,
agree on some points and disagree on some points, or
have questions.

to the author. You should describe at least one of the following:
points you disagree with
points you think the author should have added to the analysis
points that you feel did not serve much of a purpose for the article
questions you had about the author’s analysis

reference your points.
In your email message, you must
integrate two other sources
into your writing. These sources
must have been published no more than one year before the due date of the assignment. Of
course, the two articles must have content that is relevant to the article you are responding to.
You will cite these sources as you respond to the author of the article.
The email message should be
400-600 words in length
.
As you construct your email message, consider your audience, purpose, form, and content. Think
about whom you are writing to and what you hope to achieve in the message.
You will have a list of references at the end of your email message. That list will feature
three
references
: the article you are responding to and the two articles you have integrated into your
message. You will list them in APA 7
