Part II:
Part II is a reflective paragraph that represents your critical thinking process when thinking about possible sources and your research. You are NOT looking for specific sources now. Consider the best possible sources as presented in the week 2 Lesson. What type of sources will work best for your research? How can you support your project plan with credible, current, reliable, accurate, and relevant information?

Once you complete Parts I and II, please submit the WORD document.

while being truthful and educational. For any gaps in information, I will ensure to check my
sources for citations and authors to confirm that the data contained is factual and current.
