Before you do this task, make sure that you've completed your annotations and your Dialectical Notes for your research. If you're up to date, then take a moment with this task to step back and ask for helpful comments from other students on Youth Voices by creating a Discussion post about your research so far.

Reclaim your topic by posting a Discussion with transcriptions and citations from your relevant and reliable sources.

Ask yourself:

1. What are the most important things I’ve come to understand?
2. How can I use the information I’ve gathered to make those things clear to someone else?

Begin by writing about your research in a Google Document. Share it with your teacher and a few peers, and ask them to insert comments. Revise, proofread, and make sure you have cited your sources correctly, then post your writing as a discussion on Youth Voices.

Choose one of these two missions to complete this task:

Reclaiming Your Topic This mission is designed to help you write another discussion post about your inquiry topic. This might be your fourth or fifth post on your question, and this won’t be the last time you write about your question. However, if you’ve been keeping up with your annotations and your dialectical notes (see Guides) as you do your research, then it’s quite likely that the post you write for this mission will elicit helpful comments from other students on Youth Voices.

Relevant and Reliable Research Write a thoroughly researched post based on your inquiry question. Your post must have FIVE reliable sources and provide a "Works Cited" listing all of them. Your discussion post should draw on relevant information from five reliable sources. Sources should be cited in the proper MLA or APA format at the bottom of the post. Use  the Five Reliable Sources guide.

Copy the link for your Discussion Post into a comment under this task (on P2PU), then click  Yes I'm done .
