Address whether this theory is still applicable. Why or why not? Under what circumstances? Provide a specific example to illustrate your perspective. Prepare a two- to- three page paper (excluding title and reference pages) with a minimum of two scholarly, peer-reviewed sources that were published within the last five years, in APA format.

All papers should be in the APA format and have a separate title page and a separate reference page. If the paper is to be 2-3 pages long, then you should have a 2-3 page paper in addition to a title page and a reference page. For help with the APA format, please see the Purdue Owl website http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ or ask me.
Class, I am sending to everyone in the class via email as well as putting this as an annoucment. I have sent your week 1 papers back to you. Please read the comments on the paper and if I included a Turnitin report, please read it. You cannot use someones words as your own. Please be aware of the plagiarism policy of Ashford University. Go to the Ashford University writing center to get help with your writing. They have great resources to help you.
Also, please do not list sources if you are not using them in your paper. In addition to running every paper through Turnitin, I check the sources against your paper. Check your grammar and sentence structure.
I try to be more lentient the first week, but I do expect you to read the comments. If you don’t, it is apparent in the next week paper.

An important part of assisting at-risk children and families is having knowledge of the resources and programs available as sources of support. As such, a significant part of your course work in EDU644 involves discovering, analyzing, and creating resources! In your analysis of various descriptions of at-risk this week in Discussion 1, you discovered that those living in poverty are at-risk, with significant factors impacting their well-being and ability to thrive. In this discussion, you will examine online resources with information and supports for individuals and groups in poverty. Using what you discover, start developing your ideas for the website you will begin to create in Week Two.. Therefore, during your investigation, it is important that you take note of how the websites are organized and the way content is presented. Considering what makes a resource effective will help you design comparable organization and content structures in your own website. To prepare for this discussion, examine the Poverty USA (Links to an external site.)website. Additionally, review the Week One Instructor Guidance, making sure to review the intellectual elaboration and the section dedicated to guidance for the assessments. See full work attached
