Case Scenario
Your neighbor tells you that his eleven-year-old daughter has been having behavior and academic problems in school. “Her teacher recommended taking her to the pediatrician to get a prescription for Ritalin,” he said.
Record your immediate response to the scenario. Applying inductive reasoning to the case, extract and list salient details. Beside each detail, explain why you have identified it as relevant and any additional thoughts you have. This approach will help you explore ideas and synthesize information as you conduct research for, and prepare to write, your paper.
