HELP THIS IS AM EMERGENCY! 76PTS
Project
Many governments enact plans and fund agencies to protect their people in times of unrest. Today, you will begin a project that asks you to investigate some of those agencies in our own government. After your research, you will report your findings in a paper that will be informally published for your class.
Research
Report on two government crisis agencies that will notify and establish procedure in times of public crisis. Examples may include the CDC, emergency alert system, the Center for Infectious Disease, the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, or The National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
So as to make sure your research is from valid sites, study at least five government (.gov), non-profit organization (.org), research (.net) and/ or military(.mil) websites. Other places to check would be your local health office, the local police crisis intervention teams, and your nearest library or fire station. Make sure you keep a list of all the sources you have found. Take detailed notes on each of the agencies. Select the most significant and relevant facts, extended definitions, and/or concrete details.
Plan
For this project, you are writing a formal essay, educating fellow students on two government crisis agencies. The essay must be at least 4 paragraphs:
The first paragraph should introduce the importance of having a prepared crisis response plan.
The two body paragraphs must inform your audience of the history and current plans of each agency. Cite specific textual evidence that will support the development of these paragraphs.
The conclusion paragraph needs to address a claim or counter-claim for the future funding of each agency. Include any discrepancies you may have encountered in your research.
You can create your own graphics to display, or you can refer to those you found in your research.
Edit
Finally, you must edit your paper and prepare to publish your findings. If you want others to read your paper, you must first be willing to reread and change information that is not clearly stated. The following checklist may help you as you edit and clarify your writing:
Go back and add detailed and precise language in each paragraph.
For this type of mini-research project, you will need to use transitions to help you link the main paragraphs with each other and the conclusion. Effective transitions will create cohesion and clarify the relationships among the ideas that you have included. Make sure you have used several transitions.
Check for varied sentences. If all your sentences are simple, try using a complex or compound sentence.
Ask a friend or classmate to read your paper and point to sections that may need to be rewritten for clarity.
Reread the expectations for your project. Did you include all the information? Does your introduction and conclusion meet the requirement of this assignment?
