9/11, Climate Change and U.S. society
Discuss the effect of either 9/11 or climate change on U.S.
society and predict future consequences. The pandemic and
rights articles may also help in your analysis.
Assignment directions
Select THREE different sources below on EITHER 9/11 OR
climate change. All three sources must be on the same topic.
1. Synthesize the information from the three articles to discuss
the current effect of either 9/11 or climate change on U.S.
society and predict future (within ten years) further
consequences. You may substitute one of the articles from the
pandemic or rights assignments for one of the three articles
below but only if it is directly applicable. At least two of the
articles must be from the list below.
2. Organize your paper by topic, not by source. Use the matrix
format or another form of organization. You should have at
least three topics and each of your three sources should support
what you say for at least two of the topics.
3. Write the synthesis paper. Only submit the synthesis paper.
Use only the information from the three sources you chose (and
the Lecture Notes if needed). I want your analysis, not
something you found on the Internet on the subject. Work alone.
Be very clear whether something is your idea, the idea of the
person who wrote the article, or the idea of a person quoted in
the article.

2.
2-4 pages, 12 point font, 1 inch margin all around, double-
space. You don't need a title page or Works Cited since you are
only discussing the three sources which you will identify in the
first paragraph or as soon as you start discussing them. Use
proper American English spelling, grammar, punctuation,
capitalization, and paragraphs.
