PART 1

Read:

For the Written Text answer the following questions:

How do the two essays differ? Which one is more effective? Why? Does the source use evidence? Cite an effective passage from your preferred essay and describe why it works?

Once you click on this button, a pop up window appears. Within this window, click on Download, and then save the file to your computer. For a refresher on how to locate and search in this database, return to the Week 2 APA Module.
