Broken Foster Care System Position Essay

I need someone to write a 5 page essay following the requirements below:

In your position essay (also called persuasive or argumentative or persuasive), you will use evidence (facts, statistics, data, etc. NOT OPINION/BELIEFS) to support the answer to your research question. You will argue the solution to a problem.

Steps to Success:

1. Choose a research question
   1. A problem with more than one reasonable answer/solution
   2. Something for which you will find the “best” solution (claim) and offer reasons (supported by evidence, NOT OPINION/BELIEF) for that solution
   3. This question may be the same as your summary response and/or exploratory essay. Because you have already researched the best solution, I suggest using your exploratory essay question.
2. Using the Hawkeye library, find 5 reliable/credible sources and them for approval and points
   1. Since you are arguing one solution, the sources should all support that one solution, so you will need at least some new sources (if you are using the same question)
   2. At least 2 scholarly journal articles.
   3. You may also use:
      1. Magazines
      2. Newspapers
      3. Books
      4. Government websites
   4. Other websites are NOT acceptable sources
3. Take purposeful notes IN YOUR OWN WORDS on your sources
4. Determine your claim and the 3 reasons to support it (Your thesis)
5. Complete the worksheet on Canvas
6. Using MLA format, write an argumentative essay to support your position

Approximate length 4-6 pages

2. Reason 1 (1-3 paragraphs)

3. Reason 2 (1-3 paragraphs)

This is the research question: How can we solve the problem of the broken foster care system?

Also, I attached two essay examples that my teacher said were papers that were amazing and receive an A for a grade.
