Please see the attached paper formatted model for our week 6 Assignment 3 paper. This same paper is posted in our class for you to read and acknowledge. Again, trying to make sure you all see it, as there are still people that are not using the required formatted paper.

Again, I have taken the liberty of creating your paper for you. What that means is that you only need to open this document, save it to your computer and then complete the rest of the requirements of the paper. If you cannot work in this paper, then you can create your own, however it “must” be exactly as this paper is. Yes, you can leave the information that I have written if you like (especially the introduction paragraph) as I have started each paragraph for you so you will know what goes in that area. Please remember all papers must go into Turnitin. If your numbers are in the zero to 29% range you are good. If your paper is higher than 29%, then you need to paraphrase more of the paper in your own words and include citations. (NOTE: TII will identify the parts I have already written, please exclude that number from your count as I will exclude that )

Therefore, additional writing is the thing that is mostly identified as not being original, then you will have to update or rewrite your writing. Again, you MUST use THIS paper and complete your writing assignment. I have also highlighted at the end of each paragraph, the information that should be addressed in each paragraph in order to meet the objective. I would recommend you to type in your information, ensuring that you have answered the info highlighted in yellow, and then remove the information in yellow.
