Write a brief mini-essay about any topic related to the theme of social media, technology, and young people (i.e., the issues Articles 1 and 2 are about). Be creative! As long as you can defend your claim given the articles’ findings, it is fair game. Your mini-essay should be approximately 300 words, must cite both Article 1 and Article 2, and should have all the required elements of a full essay (context/introduction, a claim, support, counter-claim/alternative perspective, and a conclusion). You do not need to cite any additional sources and you do not need to provide a title page or reference list.

A satisfactory attempt at writing the context (1 point/1%), claim (1 point/1%), support (1 point/1%), counter-claim/alternative perspective (1 point/1%), and conclusion (1 point/1%) are required for the full 5 points/5%.
