• Introduction: Give an overview of the cognitive concept from class that you’re focusing on, and introduce the real-life application of this concept that you’ll be discussing. You can also include personal details here (optional), relating to why you chose this topic.
• Body of essay / most of video: Describe the technique/application that you researched in detail. Based on what you learned in class about the cognitive ability it relates to, why does this technique make sense/seem effective?
• Conclusion: Bring the paper/video to a clear ending point. You shouldn’t be introducing any new ideas in the conclusion; but rather wrapping up and emphasizing the main ‘take- away’ you’d like to leave the reader/viewer with.
