Write an essay proposing a solution to a problem.
● Choose a problem affecting a community or group to which you belong; consider what your readers might know about the issue and what stance they might take toward it. Decide how to present the problem so that readers see that it exists and is serious.
● Present a solution that would help solve the problem and could be implemented without being too costly or time-consuming; consider possible objections your readers might raise as well as alternative judgments they might prefer.
● Organize your editorial clearly and logically; adopt a reasonable tone that will lend credibility to your position.
Do not use outside sources to support your essay; choose a subject that you can discuss using your own knowledge.
Your essay should be 3-4 pages long, double spaced, with one-inch margins. Submit the final version of your essay to our online class site.
