This week’s activity is designed to help you continue working with APA formatting style and to demonstrate your knowledge on the sources you are reading for the Critical Essay. Your first step is thoroughly review and read the assigned sources:
Source 1: “What do We Mean When We Say College Isn’t for Everyone?” by Alex Bernadotte (2018)
Source 2: “Children of College Graduates Earn More and Are Richer,” by Ana Hernández Kent (2019).
Then, drawing on lecture material about writing effective summaries, creating references in APA format, and inserting hanging indents, Use the SUMMARY AND CITATION ACTIVITY template.docxattached template to complete the assignment.
Part 1: Create an APA reference for each source
Refer to the APA Resource Module for assistance in constructing proper references. Here, you need to create the full reference that would appear on the References page of your essay. Hint: we have provided these throughout lecture content for you.
Part 2: Summarize each source
Using summary skills, write a one-paragraph summary of each source. In the summary, present only the main ideas found within the text. Remember – summaries should be written in your own words. This part of the assignment should be completed in paragraph format—no numbers or bullet points (4-6 sentences).
Part 3: Statement of credibility
Drawing on this week’s lecture content, assess both sources for credibility. In one-two sentences, explain why you feel this source is or is not a credible choice for the Critical Essay.
