2. List your three sources using the citation guidelines for the Chicago Manual of StyleLinks to an external site. (below).
3. In about one double-spaced page, explain your process. What search terms and filters did you use? Did you try out different topics before settling on this one? How did you decide which articles to select?
4. In about one more double-spaced page, summarize the content of one of your selected articles. Be sure to name the article and author before describing the content.
