1. Choose two articles from the literature. You clearly won't be able to understand everything in all of them, but each should contribute in some way to your understanding of the topic.

2. By examining the articles you should write a summary of what you have learned about your topic from the articles. If you struggle with the material, that is perfectly fine to document, but ultimately I want you to take something away from this that you can convey to the rest of the class. This means you really do have to be somewhat choosy about what articles you pick.

3. Feel free to write this in as newsy a way as you would like. Remember you want to catch and hold your readers but you don't want to do it by over sensationalizing. Avoid being wishy washy and try to be as clear and accurate as possible.

4. At the bottom of the paper you should cite each of the articles in a proper format and copy and paste the abstract below the citation.
