Here is an example of what my professor has sent us: 1) have a specific purpose 2) 3 numbered bullet points. each number must have A,B,C, and or D. 3) A quote from your cite and MUST PROVIDE CITES NAME - max 3 quotes Specific Purpose: With the rising umber of reported cases of skin cancers, using sunscreen and taking precautions with sun exposure is critically important. 1. Skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma) is a major problem for Americans. A. According to a February, 2011 article in Annals of Internal Medicine, “Behavioral Counseling to Prevent Skin Cancer: A Systematic Review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force,” two million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are diagnosed each year. B. Melanoma is the least common type of skin cancer, but the deadliest, accounting for 75% of skin cancer deaths. C. The July, 2011 Consumer Reports on Health article, “Is It a Mole or Melanoma,” it is stated that the mortality rate is much higher for people with darker skin. 2.. The cause of this epidemic level of skin cancer is a lack of sun protection. A. In the January, 2011 Environmental Health article, “Radiation and cancer risk,” it states that a long-term rise of temperature by 2-degrees C., could increase the carcinogenic effectiveness of solar UV rays by 10%. B. In the June, 2011 New York Times article, “Explaining Sunscreen and the New Rules,” it is reported that a history of sunburn is a major risk factor for this cancer; five sunburns per decade raise the risk by about threefold. There is no such thing as a “safe” tan. 3. . Sun protection is the best solution for skin cancer prevention. A. The first line of defense is staying out of the sun during the peak hours of the day. A UV indicator card can be used to detect how strong the rays are at any given time. B. The second line of defense is to cover up your skin as much as possible. Clothes now have built in sunscreen. C. The third line of defense is sunscreen. According to the June, 2011 New York Times article, “F.D.A. Unveils New Rules About Sunscreen Claims,” the F.D.A. is requiring that all sunscreens must protect equally against both kinds of the sun’s radiation. Only sunscreens that have a sun protection factor (SPF) or 15 or greater, will be allowed to make a claim that they help prevent sunburn, reduce the risk of skin cancer, and premature skin aging.
