1.Select a current Texas political issue and briefly describe the issue and what the different viewpoints are. For example, the topic could be legalization of marijuana in Texas. The viewpoints are either for legalization or against it. (I have chosen COVID-19) 2.Research the topic using three professional sources (books, journals, newspapers, magazines, or websites that end in .org, .edu, or .gov)and compare and contrast the different viewpoints and positions on your topic. Fully address the different sides of the issue and demonstrate an understanding of its complexities.
3.Draw a personal conclusion based on your analysis of the issue and present an informed evaluation from the evidence.
4.Your paper will include the body of work and a Works Cited Page(list or resources used).

Grading Basics:
The body of the research paper must be a minimum of 1,000 words.
The research paper must be original workfrom the studentand may not be recycled from a different class. In other words, if youve already submitted the paper in a different class, ever, you may not use it for this assignment.All information must be properly citedusing in-text citations; place the author(e.g., Brown) or the sourcename(e.g., U.S. Census Bureau) in parenthesis after paraphrasing their work.
Use 3 separate professional sources.
Information from sources must be paraphrased and not quoted. Do not put any quotes within your paper. The resources cited within the body of the work must match the listed resources on the Works Cited page.
I have included the rest of the rubric, as well as 3 sources (they dont have to be the ones that are used, they were just 3 that I was looking at) as files in the “additional materials”
