Vlad agreed that he could do a good job writing a research paper on the Coronavirus pandemic. We first brainstormed what a plan for the organization of the paper would look like: A Cause Paper, providing quotes from various sources as to the causes of the pandemic; or an Effect Paper, providing quotes from various sources as to the effects of the pandemic; or a paper that discusses both the causes and the effects. We started with a working title: What Caused the Coronavirus Pandemic? Given the question, the rest of the paper would answer that question. We discussed using terms like: contributing cause, secondary cause, primary cause, root cause, and triggering event. We were after finding two good block quotes, one from the Mayo Clinic website and one from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. We started the Works Cited page.
