Write no more than 10 sentences, the max word count is 250.In-text citation and  direct quotes are not needed (we will learn how to do that next week!).

You must use your own words (paraphrase) to summarize. Each student’s writing should and must be different even for group members in the same group. Copying and pasting from any outside source is regarded as plagiarism behavior.

Make sure to follow above-mentioned requirements.
