Writing Assignment-Reaction Papers (3 x 65 = 195 points): You will beexpected to watch one assigned video (see below) and two videos fromthe approved list on Blackboard under Course Information and write a 5page papers (APA style) on each video. Each one of these will have a specific question you will answer in the paper See each Video. You are also expected to find a second reference (The first being the video itself) related to the specific question.

Remember to answer the following questions for any and ALL Reaction papers:

How did this video impact your Christian perspective? Are there “life lessons” to be learned from this video?You will turn in your papers into BlackBoard through a designated portalfor each paper. You will also turn in a copy of your article for your second reference into Black Board through a specific portal.

These papers are worth 50 points each. The cover page and reference page do not count as one of the 5 pages. If a student does not use in-text citations and/or is missing a reference that was cited in this assignment a zero will be given for the entire assignment. There will be an example of a Reaction page on BB for purposes of how to format one and the Rubric that will be used to score the paper.

The 2nd reference, which is to be an article from a scientific journal (not People or Psychology Today) is to be discussed also in the paper and how it relates to the subject matter in the video. This is worth 15 points. You are to turn in a pdf or doc of the actual article, OR a link to the article. Do NOT send in the Reference page of your paper!

You will turn in your papers into BlackBoard through a designated portal in the week the paper is due for each paper. You will also turn in a copy of your article for your second reference into Black Board through a specific portal in the week it is due.

Some of you may ask what do I write about in a reaction paper? 

How do I get 5 Full pages? Here are some suggestions: What did you watch that was related to Psychology? What surprised you? What shocked you? Did you learn any new words or phrases (like “McHangover”)? What did you like? What did you find discomforting or disturbing? What did you find funny? Was there anything that the video should have spent more time on? Is this a video that should be “required” viewing in H.S. or college? What did you take away from this video that will influence your future thinking or your out look on certain subjects?
