Original instructions from the teacher: In this essay, you will write about either a possible cause or a possible effect of somethingan event, phenomena, trend, or other topicin a speculative way. Speculation means an educated guess about something that cannot be known for certain.
Use a minimum of three worthwhile sources. Use in this case means to actually discuss the sources in your essayby summarizing, paraphrasing, and/or quoting parts. What is most important when you are discussing the sources beyond what they said is how the information is or might be helpful to you and make your life better. Strive for a balance between sharing what you found out and reacting to it yourself so that the information does not drown out your voice.
