WORKSHEET—EXPLANATORY CAUSE/EFFECT SYNTHESIS
Five Potential Effects of Poverty on American Children
Subpar academic achievement
Inadequate access to basic needs such as food and medical treatment
Increased chances of being in violent and unlawful environments
Mental health problems
Limited options for improvement and extracurricular activities
A Thesis Statement
American children experience a variety of shortcomings related to poverty, which include poor academic performance, inadequate access to quality healthcare and nutrition, and a high likelihood of getting involved in crime and violence. These effects point to the fact that youth in the United States are often exposed to multi-faceted challenges, and incidents are most common among the disadvantaged ones.
Outline
A. Introduction
1. An all-inclusive introduction to the topic: This will consist of studying the various influences of poverty on America’s children. The book that will directly help me in my research project will be “Ending Poverty in America,” edited by Sen. John Edwards, Marion Crain, and Arne Kalleberg.
2. Naming of Audience: It is essential to mention that the research that is carried out will be aimed at involving the citizens who are concerned and the social justice activists.
3. Thesis Statement: Disadvantaged American children face many problems during their lives due to poverty, school underachievement, poor healthcare & nutrition, and a high rate of violent crimes. These ramifications highlight the issue in depth in which the U.S. youth has multilayered challenges, with the disadvantaged being the most severely affected.
Effect One
The Require Source Support: The book Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: Letters from Children of the Great Depression, edited by Robert Cohen, will be vital to completing this research project.
The Require Source Support: Important data from acceptable sites and organizations such as CDC and UNICEF will be drawn.
The Require Source Support: Besides, to enhance the results of my research, I will quote scholars and academia who have previously attempted to establish the correlation between poverty and academic performance.
Effect Two
The Require Source Support: Literature will be developed using articles in reputable databases such as JSTOR and Gale Academic OneFile
The Require Source Support: Previous studies from government-controlled agencies will be cited throughout the research. These agencies include Human Services and the Department of Health.
The Require Source Support: Data from the World Health Organization (WHO), specifically poverty on children’s health outcomes, will be used.
Effect Three
The Require Source Support: Scholarly articles focused on establishing the association between poverty and violence exposure.
The Require Source Support: Organization-based reports such as the National Institute of Justice
The Require Source Support: Quoting ideas from scholars who have studied the connection between community violence and poverty among children.
Conclusion
Key points summarized.
Possible solutions and interventions to addressing poverty among children. Recommendations will be drawn from publications such as Tools for Change in Sojourners Magazine.
These were the comments I received from my teacher on the above work.

Kristina, you have settled on three workable effects for discussion in your upcoming explanatory paper. Remember that you are explaining, not arguing. Your thesis statement does include the three effects you plan for the focus of the paper. Unfortunately, you have not yet named the specific sources you plan to use: three from our textbook (Chapter 11) and three from the two assigned databases. Your general references to source support are admirable, but they do not give me any specific sources to approve or disapprove. -2 You also have not named the assigned audience which is named in the directives for the actual paper. I also asked that you mention two ways you will refer to this audience throughout the paper. These ways are named in the Lecture Notes for this Module. -1
