reflection paragraphs (introduction, body and conclusion) and a reference page listing the two supplied articles. The term paper will evolve, moving away from a “reflection” paper, toward a research paper. The use of a first-person narrative will not be acceptable as you evolve to Part 2 and 3 of this term paper. (1-2 pages)
