This is a first come, first serve and there will not be repeated topics presented. No one can select Coronavirus! The goal of the proposal is to help you organize your thoughts on your research article and it will allow me the opportunity to give you helpful feedback for you to use when making your Powerpoint presentation (Part B).

Requirements:

· Your proposal should be typed, MLA format and about 2-5 pages in length with a literature cited section.

· This assignment is due at the beginning of class and you must upload to Moodle, but you can turn it in before the due date. The assignment will be saves as you and your partner name (Ex: SanchezB_SmithR). Both partners must upload the proposal along with a copy of the article.

You should include the sections listed below:

What is the hypothesis or the goal of the article?

Summarizes and describe the research article: What did they do? Where did this research take place? How did they do this? Why did they do this? Is this a new discovery, If not, when was this study last conducted? What is the biology behind it, for example if you selected a new cancer therapy you also have to describe what cancer is? You may need additional resources but focus on your main research article. Is there a cost associated with this? Describe the introduction, methods, findings and conclusion.

· Impact ( Local or Global, both)

How is it important to the environmental community and science? Relate it back to class. Why does this matter.
