Introduction

This first section of your paper should give a short overview of what your paper will be about. You need to grab your reader’s attention and inform them of all of the topics you will cover. You should include a thesis statement that tells your reader what topics you will talk about in the paper. Your thesis statement could inform the reader of the topics of the two articles you will summarize and then how you will apply that information to eyewitness testimony.  One example of a thesis statement could be: Research from Authors’ last names (year of publication) and Authors’ last names (year of publication) provide insight into the reliability of eyewitness testimony. The italics is where your 2 article in text citations would go.

Article 1 Title

This section should be a summary of the findings from the first article. You need to provide an overview of what the paper was about and what their main points were.  Write this in paragraph format (not bullet points), but think about the following for each article:

• What population or group of people did the research study?
• What questions did the study ask and try to find the answer to?
• How did the study answer their research questions? (did they measure something, observe something, have people take a survey??)
• What did the study find or conclude? What were the results of the study?
• Look at the “discussion/findings/implications” section of the article- how was the information in the article meaningful or valuable?

Article 2 Title

You need to provide an overview of what the paper was about and what their main points were just like you did with the first one. Do not forget to include the in text citation for the article in here.

Eyewitness Testimony – Reliable or Unreliable

• First, decide if you think that eyewitness testimony is reliable or not- pick one stance to argue for.
• Discuss what our textbook says about whether or not eyewitness testimony is reliable
• What are some of the concepts from our book that help your stance and prove your stance?
• How does the findings from each article also support your stance on whether or not these testimonies are reliable?
