For this unit, you will need to compose a proposal to solve a problem within a community of which you are a part. The word “community” includes school, work, family life, special-purpose groups, committees, task forces, military units, and sports teams.
You should choose an issue with which you have personal experience but not something so large that it will be impossible to cover in a single essay. Your essay is expected to:
clearly state a problem
explain its seriousness
propose a solution
further to defend that solution by considering the value of alternative solutions
For this essay, you are required to do some, but not extensive, research, citing 2-3 sources in MLA. Your sources must be cited using in-text citations and a Works Cited list at the end of the text.
