Comment: You did include both the documents that were in your synthesis paper, however after that you need to clearly give your own opinion on the controversy through stating your thesis, research question and forecast.
[opening & introduction]
NO & YES__that contains an opening to the paper that hooks the reader and introduces the writer and his/her purpose for writing the essay? Is there a forecast of what the paper will contain?
Comment:I like how you began the paper because it was attention grabbing. The purpose of your paper is unclear because there is no evident thesis early on. I recommend adding a forecast right in the beginning but not until your paper is complete because then you can summarize what you plan to cover more easily
[use of research question & thesis]
NO__where they employ their research question that then is answered in a thesis and set forward in the paper?
Comment: Very Important
