Identify your stakeholder role and your position for or against the proposed policy.
Public statements in townhall style meetings or summits are a regular part of the decision-making process. Often this includes testimony from invited experts and/or from the public, in which the speaker reads aloud a well prepared statement of their perspective on the issue at hand. In this online class, you will “speak out” in a virtual townhall meeting on a controversial environmental topic. You will write a stakeholder statement and share it with the class via discussion forum. This is Part 2 of the 3-part Townhall assignment. This discussion forum will serve as a preview of the Townhall Summit in Week 9. You will have the opportunity to post your script outline and read those of your peers.
See the Townhall Summit Part II Lab Instructions and Background for instructions on how to outline your script.

Explain 2 pieces of evidence that support your position AND cite your sources in the text so we know the source of the information.

DO NOT quote directly from sources – paraphrase the material into your own words to demonstrate your mastery of the material.
We ask you to use a specific style of in-text citation where you will write the author (or publisher) name and year published in parentheses at the end of a sentence: (author name, year) or (publisher name, year).
