Informative essay on Vaccine

What have you learned about your topic? Your essay must provide evidence that you have been reading and thinking carefully about your topic. I am not necessarily interested in your position yet – just your grasp of your topic. As a result, your thesis statement must only reflect the views of the different individuals named in the sources (see informal essay example). Therefore, your assignment is to write an informative essay (NOT a persuasive one) in which you do the following things:
1. Describe the issue you are researching.
2. Carefully summarize the debate that surrounds your topic. Do your best to give equal time (more or less) to two sides of the debate.
In other words: instead of trying to persuade me, you should inform me about at least two different positions that others take when they discuss your issue. For instance, you could describe first what opponents believe, then what supporters believe, and, if relevant, what the middle ground is; or, you could describe where different groups of people stand on your issue, such as scientists vs. the general public, or environmentalists vs. business owners.
In this assignment, only try to be objective as you summarize: report on the debate, but do not focus on where you stand!
3. Quote from at least one of each source in your writing.
4. Make reference to a second source, whether in quotation, paraphrase, or summary form.
(Use of a third or fourth source is optional)
5. Include an introduction, at least two body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Be sure to FIRST, introduce quotations and paraphrase carefully by indicating who (or what) you are quoting and why that source is credible. Cite page numbers if you have them.
Make sure all sources are listed (in alphabetical order on the Works Cited page.
