Need to find 4 articles about issue with red light runners and what can we do to prevent it and combine them together with quotes from each one. Essay should be as synthesis. Authors positions, main points, compare their main ideas.
From the teacher:
” Select 3-4 issues (main points) from the conversation that you will cover in your synthesis: With each of your topics, you likely saw a number of issues repeated over and over. Those are the most important parts of the conversation. Synthesize the author’s on those points. As you select, don’t use vague categorizations like “negatives” and “positives.” Be specific. What are they talking about? Make sure that the points are distinctly different enough that you won’t just repeat yourself.
Write out a thesis.
Find quotes from the articles that reflect the authors’ positions on the previously identified main points: You don’t want to distort the original authors’ ideas. So, at this stage, you want to find representative quotes from their articles. For the synthesis, you are going to be paraphrasing or putting those quoted passages into your own words, but for now, the quotes will help you. The reason why you will be paraphrasing in the paper is that it’s much easier to smoothly transition from point to point, if you are expressing the authors ideas in your own words, rather than just throwing a bunch of quotes into the paper. ”
I found two article id like to use for this essay,
1. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-traffic/2019/08/31/arizona-ranks-highest-nation-deadly-red-light-crashes/2161025001/
2. https://www.abc15.com/news/operation-safe-roads/would-extending-the-yellow-light-at-traffic-signals-curb-red-light-running
the other two doesn’t have to be about Arizona specific but should be about red runners issue.
