HELP LAST ASSIGNMENT TO PASS THIS CLASS Please don't give fake answers for points this is extremely important! it would be greatly appreciated Conducting a Research Project
Your goal in this task is to select an issue, consider your opinions, and conduct research based on the opinion and issue you selected. In the next task, you will form a thesis statement and write a persuasive research paper to communicate your opinions. Your thesis and paper will address the following writing prompt:

How has the issue you selected changed your community, country, or world?
After you consider this writing prompt, you will select a topic to guide your research.

Think of the topics of the reading selections that you analyzed in this unit:

Robert Ball’s “Great Astronomers” (science and technology)
The European Environmental Agency’s “The Melting Arctic” (the environment)
C. D. and K. E. Idso’s “Energy, Carbon Dioxide and Earth's Future: Pursuing the Prudent Path” (the environment)
Abraham Lincoln’s “First Inaugural Address” and “Letter to James T. Hale” (national politics)
John Snow’s “On the Mode of Communication of Cholera” (public health)
To start your research, select an issue that made the news in the past year and that relates to one of these topics: science and technology, the environment, national politics, or public health. Consider your initial views on that issue. Next, begin a basic initial research phase to become better informed about the events and people involved with that issue. You should reference two to three resources during this relatively brief research phase. As you research the issue, mentally note the opinions that you form about the issue. You might find that you want to refine or modify your opinions on the issue as you proceed.

After you select an issue and conduct basic research, begin gathering and organizing sources to form a thesis statement that is based on your opinion and answers the writing prompt directly. You will also use this research to write your paper in the next task. Take time to think about the purpose of your research. When you find a source of information, evaluate how useful it is by considering these questions:

Who authored the source?
What is the purpose of the source?
When was the source written?
How will this source help to form, support, or refine your opinion?
The following web pages contain additional information about locating and assessing resources:

Locating and Assessing Sources
Evaluating Information on the Internet
Identify at least five sources before you work on your thesis statement; these sources can be online, in print, or in some other medium. You can use both primary and secondary sources in this activity. Remember, a primary source contains an eyewitness's account of an event (e. g., a letter or diary) or actual data from an experiment or a survey that the authors conducted. A secondary source summarizes or synthesizes information from primary sources (e. g., a textbook). You may use relevant resources that you encountered in the lessons in this unit, such as the articles and videos on climate change.

questions:
Part A
Next, state the topic you selected, why you selected it, and how you narrowed the topic to a specific issue after conducting research.

Part B
State the opinions you have formed about the issue you chose.

Part C
List the sources that you will use to form your thesis and build your argument in a works cited page. You should list each source in Modern Language Association format. Describe how each source connects to the issue you are working on and how it helped you to form your opinion.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
