large pile of trash and debris on a beach

 

Research Writing Project

You will research the roots and solutions to a problem that affects someone from your "kitchen table:" a family member, friend, or other loved one in your circle. You will then write a 5-7 page research composition that presents the root of the problem and argues for a viable way of addressing, solving, or healing from the problem.

Sources

  • 1 personal interview with someone affected by the problem
  • 4-7 additional relevant and credible sources, including:
    • 2+ scholarly sources such as peer-reviewed journal articles or chapters from academic/scholarly books
