But, for example:
More on T. C. Jones
While Franzoi (2002) reports many interesting facts about the life of T. C. Jones, there are many others he does not mention. Among the other biographical facts about Dr. Jones are:
1. According to Nichols (2002), T. C. Jones died in a car crash
caused by a drunk driver.
2. Li and Crane (1998) note that he married a famous singer named
Karmin Electrical.

What I will expect to see is a list of ten biographic facts about the famous psychologist that Franzoi does not mention in Chapter 1. These do not have to be earth-shaking revelations. They can be birthdates, dates of death, titles of books written, where the person went to school, who they studied under, the names of parents, children and spouses, their hobbies and interests, major accomplishments, etc. Just be sure that Franzoi did not also give that information.
Finding ten things that Franzoi did not disclose may be easier for some famous psychologists than for others, simply because you are dependent upon other people who decided what to put on their pages.
You may have to look at the pages devoted to more more than one psychologist before you find the necessary ten new things.
As a last resort, you can use more than one psychologist to get to the total of ten new facts. For example, you can list five things about psychologist 1, two about psychologist 2, and three about psychologist 3. However, I think this might involve more work than finding ten facts about one person.
Be sure to properly cite the source of each of the ten biographical facts. If you do not, you will have committed plagiarism.
Be sure to mention the author of the textbook in your work so that you will have a reason to include the reference for your textbook among the other references in the list of references.
Failure to provide proper references will always lead to rejection
of the assignment and, possibly, loss of credit. Go back and review
