Discussion Post: Importance of Investing in Renewable Energy

Before participating in this discussion, read through the instructions and links for the other assignments in this unit to get a good feel for what an editorial is. Think about topics you would be interested in writing an editorial about, where you would submit it, and who the audience would be. Whatever topic you choose, it's important to research what's already been said on the matter so that you can enter the discussion in an informed way with something new and interesting to say.
For this discussion, do the following:

Question I. Tell us the specific topic you want to write about. What position do you anticipate you will you take on the topic?

Question II. Editorials are published for the public to read in magazines, trade journals, and newspapers (all of which can also be found online). Specifically, by name, what publication could you submit your editorial to? Who is their average audience? Why did you choose this publication?

Question III. Find an editorial on the topic that you want to write about. This is what you will respond to with your OWN editorial, whether you agree, disagree, or both. Link to the editorial and give a brief (less than 3 sentences) summary of the editorial.

Question IV. Write a draft thesis statement responding to that editorial, using a template from this unit's reading assignments in They Say I Say.
