InstructionsResearch:1-Research the same topic you began researching in your discussion
assignments. Access the CCCOnline Library Databases, and search for five sources that you
believe will be useful to your research project. (You may use sources from your Source

Write: Look closely at the patterns of information you see. Consider where the key ideas in
these sources overlap. Where do the sources seem to say similar things? Where do they
disagree? What evidence do they hold in common? What evidence is completely different?
What goals or purposes do these sources seem to have in common? What is significant
about the ways in which these sourcesare connected in conversation?4- Write: Analyze the
sources you see as most prevalent and significant in this conversation. Analyze the
conversation you see happening around this topic. Focus on the sources and the
perspectives, and not a summary of the debate or the issue. Consider what sources are
credible, whose perspectives they represent, and what role in the conversation each source
plays. Without summarizing the resources, write a synthesis where you analyze what these
sources say and the patterns in information you see amongst these sources. When you state
that two sources are similar, you must show how they are similar and analyze why their
similarity is significant. Explore how these voices are in conversation with one another.Your
essay should contain 4-5 quotations from your sources, and it should include paraphrasing
of other main ideas. Be sure to use quotation marks and in-text citations appropriately and
responsibly.Your essay should be approximately 850 words
