You and your team have chosen a “Closing Case” from the text. For your Exam 1 take-home essay, write a 3-paragraph essay following these instructions carefully.

2. In the second paragraph, write about what particular parts of the case struck you. What did you find particularly interesting and why. Explain yourself and show your thinking process.
3. In the third and final paragraph, write about the questions that you have after reading the case. What other information would you like to know? What was not clear to you, perhaps, or what do you wonder about the topic itself. Let your mind wander. Most important, however, flesh out your questions and show your thinking process.
