It is important to be able to incorporate your sources effectively through direct quotation. For this activity, you will select article of your choosing with instructor approval.

Then, based on the content and focus of the essay or article, you will compose an essay in which you effectively incorporate quotes from that essay or article to help support your discussion and analysis.
Requirements:

• Your written paper should be two to three pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.
• You must accurately insert a quote in your analysis to provide in-text evidence from the essay or article you selected, and you must comment on the quote to demonstrate you are thinking in a critical manner.
• APA format

English Composition II – Week 4 Assignment

Generating Research Questions

Purpose of assignment: To practice generating and narrowing down research questions for your argumentative rough draft.

Procedure: In previous assignments, you summarized and analyzed the work of others. Now you will begin steps toward selecting your own topic to write about for your final paper of this course. A good essay often begins with a thesis statement. An exceptional essay begins with a Research Question.

To begin with a Research Question, means you don’t know the answer (yet), but you are open to exploring the issue through research. The narrower your research question can be, the more you can save time and effort in finding sources. This assignment contains two parts to help you practice narrowing Research Questions.

Part A: Narrowing Topics.

Read the following topics and notice how each successive question narrows the focus of the Research Question:

Example 1: Violence in schools

What causes violence in high schools?

Is there a developing trend in frequency or type of school violence?

How should violent school children be punished?

What can be done to prevent school violence?

Example 2: Drug use

Which drugs should be illegal?

What kinds of drugs are the most dangerous?

Is there a correlation between childhood exposure to drugs and use of drugs in adulthood?

What kind of penalties should there be for the various kinds of illegal drug offenses?

Example 3: Immigration

What are the effects of illegal immigration?

What are the effects of legal immigration?

How should immigration laws be enforced?

What’s the driving force behind illegal immigration?

After reviewing the three examples, write three narrowing questions for each of the four topics listed below in the following format.

Education

1.Is it necessary to go to college in order to be successful?

2.(Your turn – narrow this topic)

3.(keep going – narrow this topic further)

4.(one more time – keep narrowing the topic)

Sports

1.Are professional athletes paid too much?

2.(Your turn – narrow this topic)

3.(keep going – narrow this topic further)

4.(one more time – keep narrowing the topic)

Health insurance

1.Should health insurance companies be able to charge higher rates depending on a person’s age?

2.(Your turn – narrow this topic)

3.(keep going – narrow this topic further)

4.(one more time – keep narrowing the topic)

Technology

1.Are people spending too much money in order to keep up with the latest gadgets?

2.(Your turn – narrow this topic)

3.(keep going – narrow this topic further)

4.(one more time – keep narrowing the topic)

Part B: Narrowing Your Own Topics

Now, pick three topics of your own and generate narrowing topics, as you did above. (Note: Please check with you instructor or the course announcements prior to see if any topics are not allowed for this course. You should make sure your topics are allowed prior to 11:59 p.m. Sunday.)

Topic #1 (I WANT THIS TOPIC TO BE: The US Administration Could have done a better job of Containing the Cornoavirus)

1.(Your initial question)

2.(Your turn – narrow this topic)

3.(keep going – narrow this topic further)

4.(one more time – keep narrowing the topic)

Topic #2: YOU CHOOSE

1.(Your initial question)

2.(Your turn – narrow this topic)

3.(keep going – narrow this topic further)

4.(one more time – keep narrowing the topic)

Topic #3

1.(Your initial question)

2.(Your turn – narrow this topic)

3.(keep going – narrow this topic further)

4.(one more time – keep narrowing the topic)

Format: This assignment does not have to be written in essay format. Merely copy the topics and questions above and add your own questions. APA Style is not required for this assignment.

Submitting the assignment: Attach your outline as a single file Word document or .pdf file and submit to the W4 assignment drop box.

(((( 6 type of external interfaces that will require critical attention in subway

1-Air monitoring and ventilation

The confined space occupied by the underground subway system can accumulate the pollutants entering from the outside in addition to those generated within the system. Therefore, it is likely that the subway system in an area contains different types of hazardous pollutants. All underground installation is classified as gassy and requires enough ventilation to prevent accumulation of gases to an explosion level. Normal ventilation fans shall, even be designed for continuous operation

2- flood control

In principle, there are many ways of mitigating flood risk in subway to reduce or avoid possible impact of flooding, such as building levees and tidal barriers. Several measures apply directly to underground transport systems. For example, cities can install backup power for pump systems to reduce or avoid the potential for infrastructure damage when power outages occur, and clear flooded tunnels more quickly. Similarly, flood gates and raised entrances at stations could allow the underground transport system to continue operations even during floods. Or by new technology includes subway “plugs”, which look and work like big balloons. They can inflate in just a few minutes to help prevent water from entering underground tunnels. When not in use, the plug packs down to a small storage space in the tunnel, ready for remote, immediate inflation in an emergency. But for all this useful engineering, we do have to realize that there is no feasible way to provide total flood prevention and there will always be some risk of flooding. That means we need to become more resilient to flooding when it does occur through prevention, preparation and planning.

3- Emergency protective, including evacuation plan

In Subway construction we should be consider an area called a( safe stations ), in case of any emergency detected ,one of these stations will be the safest place in the subway .( mentioned in exercise English France tunnel)

4- fire prevention and protection

Underground passenger station should be equipped with a fare collection system and a fare collection control system. Local station control and monitoring shall be at the station fare collection control unit, and remote monitoring/ patron registering shall be by a data transmission interface cabinet

5- Illumination

by providing an atmosphere of relative comfort, pleasantness and cleanliness of surroundings, and a sense of personal safety and security. Lighting for passenger stations should be bright and cheerful, so all artwork illumination shall be approved by the architect.

6- The ground settlement during subway station construction in populous city areas is the most important factor that needs to be controlled ))))))

Please note i want answer to the question and i want a replay to the discussion post between parenthesis above

separate the answer and the replay from each other .

Submit PowerPoint slides of your portfolio. You will have a maximum 8 minutes to present your slides, so organize your presentation accordingly. Presentation should include (not in any order):

1. Why your mission is important.
2. Mission statement
3. Challenges or problems related to the subject area ( this can be related to #1; use stats to highlight)
4. Opportunities that are out there.
5. Your next phase in life (something about you – no need to put your whole resume in the slide).

Make your presentation more like a story to sell your mission.
