Childhood Obesity

The Solution Research Paper The Solution Paper is one in which you choose a problem to research.

 

 

The Sections: 1-Introduction (50-100 words) — State why your topic is an issue (purpose statement), ask a question, and provide the thesis. Don’t explain your topic. That’s the job of the next section. 2-The Problem (300-500 words)

 

 

– Define and explain the issue. You’re required to use two sources in this section, but most of the text should be your own explanation (as you understand the problem) and in your own voice. *The sources for this section: Anderson, Patricia M., and Kristin Butcher. “Childhood Obesity: Trends and Potential Causes.” The Future of Children, Vol. 16, No. 1, pp. 19-45, 2006, JSTOR. https://books.google.com/books? id=oFy5hltsryIC&pg=PA19&lpg=PA19&dq=Childhood+Obesity:+Trends+and+Potential+Causes+Patricia+M.+Anderson+and+Kristin+F.+Butcher&source=bl&ots=htYU FVD94Q75Fzw0A0R0VSUu4DeQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiNguGZvNTeAhXOslkKHSERBIwQ6AEwBnoECAIQAQ#v=onepage&q=Childhood%20Obesity%3A%20Trends%20and “Child Obesity.” Harvard T.H CHAN School of Public Health, 2016, https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/obesity-trends/global-obesity-trends-inchildren/ 3-Solution Analysis (600-900 words) — Examine three possible solutions to the problem by analyzing the pros and cons of each.

Sources must be used, but the number is up to you
