Assignment #1

I NEED THESE CHANGES ADDED TOO THE ATTACHED ASSIGNMENT AND THE ASSIGNMENT 2 ADDED TOO THE SAME PAPER.

You were to discuss three topics, not just one. Also, you were to provide two credible sources for the other two topics and discuss audience for all three topics.

In addition, your thesis statement does not provide three arguments.

Please correct your thesis statement as well as the other errors I noted in your attached paper before you submit your 2nd assignment so that you won’t be counted off twice for the same errors.

USE THE RUBRIC'S SHOWN BELOW FOR THE PAPER AND USE THE LAST COLUMN TO ASSURE THE PROPER WORK IS DONE.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.
