Task
Part 1 – Reference Page
Conduct research on your topic to find 8 sources – 1 scholarly source (a peer-reviewed or academic journal article), 1 news source (an article from a newspaper or news broadcast), 1 opinion piece (an opinion editorial or letter to the editor), and 1 organizational website (a nonprofit organization, .org, .gov) and 4 other credible sources of your preference. Be strategic about your research – find sources that will be used in the Opinion Editorial Analysis & Opinion Editorial Argument and not the first sources that are found.
Create a reference page using APA format that lists the 8 sources. Your reference page should also include labels to indicate what type each source is (e.g., scholarly, opinion piece, news).
