so I can directly click on it and/or put the address in a browser to view it. If you select an article, state the name of the article and the author (if available).

You MUST clearly state the CHAPTER or CHAPTERS your video or article coincides with from Module 1 OR 2. Finally, state the TOPIC of the article or video. Ex: The main

topic of my video (or article) deals with drugs, education, etc. I got the video from modulo 2. The title of this video is Socialization & the media. Chapter 3.
