Paragraph Three (and possibly Paragraph Four): Present the variables and how each was measured. Be specific. Identify the name of the measurement and a brief description of each.

Paragraph Five: Discuss the results of the study. Did the data support the stated hypotheses? Use the results and discussion section for this.

Paragraph Six through Eight: Critique the study. Specify what was done well and what could have been improved. Some other questions to answer: was the research valuable?; was the study practical/helpful? To whom?; was the study done ethically?; should more research be done in this area?; who does the results of this study apply to?; what would you recommend the next step to be in this line of research?
