Go back to the Module 1 Assignment and take note of the three articles you found that address potential areas of interest for your own research:

Extend the search from Module 1 to include another three articles about the topic and problem.

• Using all six articles, and the criteria listed below, write and submit a 5-page paper in which you effectively synthesize the evidence you wish to present.
• Write a 5-page paper based on the articles you found. When writing, be sure to:
• Provide the background of the potential topic and a discussion about the problem.
• Effectively synthesize the evidence from the articles you located.

Apply the MEAL plan writing strategy that was introduced in the Learning Resources from Module 2.

• The topic will be Environmental risk issues related to respiratory diseases in children with socioeconomic disadvantages. 
• MEAL Plan
• One approach that students may want to use to create effective arguments/paragraphs in capstone writing is the MEAL plan. This is one option for how to construct a paragraph. Duke University’s Thompson Writing Program (n.d.) recommended that writers organize the material within a paragraph according to the MEAL plan:

Main Idea: Topic sentence stating the concrete claim the paragraph is advancing.

Evidence: Paraphrase or direct quotations from the source material used to support the topic sentence’s claim.

Analysis: Explanation and evaluation of the evidence; explaining the evidence you provided and its relevance in the writer’s own words.

Lead Out: Concluding; preparing the reader to transition to the next paragraph (and the next claim).
