Unit Three Exploration Activity: Creating a Problem and Solution Presentation
Some forms of writing engage us in the struggles and resolutions of our daily lives. In a problem-and-solution essay, an author identifies a problem and the argues for a possible solution. You might use this type of writing in letters, memos, proposals, or editorials.

- a statement of the problem and a suggested solution
- valid reasoning and evidence, such as facts and expert opinions, that show the problems, scope and support an effective solution.
