Please remember that over the course of the semester you need to complete a total of TWO of these essays. If you decide to complete the reaction essay below, please remember that you you can choose to skip the media quizzes and the discussion board above. However, those grades will still be entered as zeros and then Canvas will drop them as the lowest grades as long as you have not missed other assignments. If you have missed other quizzes or discussion boards, then I recommend still doing this lesson’s quizzes and discussion. Also, you DO still need to complete Achieve. To prepare for the essay you need to: Please watch and read the following: Watch the following TED talk (15 min) https://www.ted.com/talks/johann_hari_everything_you_think_you_know_about_addiction_is_wrong?language=en Links to an external site.

You also need to be sure to include one peer-reviewed research article that is related to the topic at hand. Please see the *handout attached here Download handout attached here* on finding and citing peer-reviewed research articles. Be sure to integrate this article into your essay and then be sure to cite the article using APA style both within the essay and at the end of your essay. Write a 3-4 page reaction summary describing your reaction and opinion regarding the media you just listened to, read, and watched. You need to include an introduction with a thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, a conclusion, and an APA style reference page. Be sure to reference each of the pieces of media and the peer-reviewed research article. You will lose significant points if you do miss references to any of the media or to the peer-reviewed paper.
