You will conduct 2 reviews during this course. Your Journal Article Reviews must involve critiquing and reviewing selected articles on specific topics. Each review must be 1–2 double-spaced pages and follow current APA format. This includes the use of APA headings (Summary, Analysis, Personal Response). A submission of less than 1 page will not receive credit. You must choose an article from 1 of the professional journals of special education listed below.

You will evaluate and critique 1 research article from varying professional journals. The journal article reviews must involve critiquing and reviewing selected articles on specific assigned topics. The paper will include a title page, a reference page, body (Summary, Analysis, Personal Response), and have a 2-page limit. The title page, in-text citations, and the reference page are NOT included in the word limit. Journal article critiques consist of three parts (separated by APA formatted headings):

• Part 1—Summary Paragraph;
• Part 2—Analysis of Author’s Key Points;
• Part 3—Personal Response.

Please note the articles should be recent (within the last 5 years), and the article topic for each review must be relevant to the current topic in the chapter readings.

Therefore, the topics for each journal article review are as follows:

• Journal Article Review #1 – Individualized Education Program

When composing your reviews, practice using graduate professional writing. Do not begin with "This article is about…" Instead, open the review with a strong thesis statement and summarize the author's main points in the first paragraph. Using third person, state your personal reaction to the article in the final paragraph (“This author agrees/disagrees…” or "one can see that…").
