Written Response

Prompts

General TipsPlan your response using evidence that best answers the prompt, not just what the pink page says. Many studies overlap between learning outcomes.

Set the framework in your introduction. Introduce key terms (cognition, memory, schema theory, Flashbulb Memories, etc.)

Link the studies back to your thesis. (If the study shows that memory is not reliable, explain why not!)

Critical thinking can include applications, synthesis of studies, methodology, etc.
