The Assignment Prompt: Given what you have read this quarter, what is one major reason have we
been slow to address the climate crisis in the United States with major solutions? Using course
materials, develop a theory or hypothesis that addresses this question. Persuade your audience that
your theory is a reasonable and well-supported response (instead of the single right answer).
By asking you to develop a theory, I am inviting you to consider the different perspectives in the
conversation that we have explored in the first three weeks of class. Using this conversation as a starting
point, develop the following in your project: Introduce readers to the subject and the conversation.
Describe your theory, using examples to illustrate your point. Support your theory with reasons and
evidence. Acknowledge, concede, and/or refute the most likely objection that readers would provide for
your theory. Cite your sources and document them using a formatted Works Cited page.
Intended Audience: As you draft and revise your project, it may help to imagine that you are writing to
an audience of your fellow peers in this class.
