Part 1: Describe a real-life situation, observation, or communication phenomenon you experienced.

Part 2: Explain the theory (with citations/references to at least 2 journal articles).

Part 3: Combine the two by explaining how the theory applies to your experience/event.

  • A reference page should be provided that cites the sources used for the theory in APA style.

Start writing your paragraph below the respective header (or copy and paste from a previous document) where it says [enter text here] or [enter first reference here];
