Why Excessive Media Consumption is Damaging to our Mental State and How to Fix it

Create a Works Cited Page. Your works cited page should have a minimum of three sources. These sources must be from at least one book, one article (magazine or website), and one image (movies included. Also consider comedic shows like John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight because he tackles a lot of controversial topics). You must use MLA format and this format is also tested/expected on the AP exam so I would certainly start practicing and becoming familiar with these methods.

Rubric:
Thesis: Responds to the prompt with a thesis that presents a defensible position.
EVIDENCE: Provides specific evidence from at least three of the provided sources to support all claims in a line of reasoning. AND COMMENTARY: Consistently explains how the evidence supports a line of reasoning.
