You are making an argument about how people’s behavior is influenced. You are using the MINDSPACE framework to help prove your argument. You choose the three elements of the MINDSPACE framework that you feel have the most impact. Each one of your three body paragraphs is focused on one of these three elements. In the paragraph, you argue how the concept (the MINDSPACE element) contributes to the choices people make. You use details from two readings to support the concept. You do this for all three body paragraphs. You are not writing “about” the articles; you are using the articles to prove your overall argument about the factors that have the most impact on behavior/choices.
