Research steps:

By the beginning of class on Monday, you should have all of the following completed and in your google.doc:

1. Summaries of five of the eleven articles listed below. These summaries should be in your own words and should capture the general idea of the articles as well as any important points that stand out as potential thesis components.

2. At the end of each summary, write (at least) one sentence that begins "I think that," and reflects your thoughts or opinions about what you've just read.

3. A diagnostic summary of PTSD. Use the DSM excerpts to describe the symptoms and experiences of an individual who is experiencing the disorder. Be particularly careful to do this in your own words, as it can be easy to rely too much on the technical language of the original text.

4. APA-style references for all five articles as well as the DSM. (Remember: Look to the formatting site linked on the righthand side of the blog for formatting specifications.)
