Practice Write 3/17

If we were told to write a research paper over spring break, questions that might come to mind are how many sources are we allowed to use? Would it have to be off of our top three picks from online sources or could we combine sources from the internet plus ones resources that we found in the library? Another question that came to mind when researching, how broad can our search be? I am writing on finding a sustainable way to conserve our water in my hometown Monrovia or our neighboring town of Sierra Madre. Would I research what options that are currently being used or what we could potentially use in the future? Collecting and harvesting rain water is a huge problem because we aren't able to due to a law that was put into place. Should I base my research off of that topic?


Notes:
- Essay 3 is its own essay.
- Can summarize from essay 1 and 2 for essay 3.
- I don't have counter arguments for my topic. (They Say/ I Say) Why isn't my topic not being stressed as much as it should because of this growing problem.
- Inquiry question and thesis will probably change.
- Primary source (interview we are conducting) and secondary (research essay 3)
- 4-5 sources are minimum. (scholarly sources only)
