Proposing Solutions
Ayleen Lindahl College Writing I
The topic you will choose will be a particular problem - some situation that needs to be changed or idea that needs to be rethought. (Be cautious of too broad of a topic - like poverty in general - find a focus.)
Some problems are not necessarily physical or material; they can be intellectual, spiritual, and psychological. Consider some bad policies, narrow thinking, or troubled systems.
Remember that proposing a solution involves two layers: persuading the readers that the problem is worthy of addressing and persuading them that the solution is appropriate and valuable.
What I will be looking for is a thorough discussion of the problem, your possible solution, and readily available step-by-step instructions on how to achieve your solution. Also, organization will be a large part of this paper.
This project will be written in the pamphlet format - such as the one below. We will be working together on organizational techniques, headings, bulleted lists, appropriate images, and the imperative verb mood.
The rough draft will be shown to group members on November 19, Friday.
The final draft and Professional Letter will be handed into me, or into the box outside my office, or e-mailed to me by midnight, Monday, Nov. 22.
