Keep in mind that this is NOT opinion based! This assignment is strictly what you learned in the class this week!  This is not everything that needs to be included (two-doubled spaced paper, title page, in-text citations, references page, introduction, and a conclusion). However, this is how the assignment should be broken down more easily. Sometimes all those words can cause confusion. I want to attempt to make this as simple as possible
