Assignment: For this assignment, you'll use all the work you've done this term to compose a formal persuasive essay in which you propose a solution to the social, political, or ethical problem you've explored this term. You'll need to describe the problem, propose a solution to that problem, and demonstrate why your solution is more effective than other solutions that may be or have been proposed. Your argument must be supported by evidence, logically organized, and employ the rhetorical appeals in a balanced, effective manner.

Things to consider as you formulate your approach:

• Who does your problem affect, and how?

• Why does your problem need solving?

• What does your audience need to know about your problem in order to understand and agree with your position?

• How do diction, complexity, and style affect the overall tone of your argument?

• How can you refute opposing viewpoints in a professional and respectful manner?

Essay Requirements: • 1250 words minimum, formatted according to MLA Guidelines.

• All cited sources listed in your Works Cited page.

• Your own work, created originally for this specific assignment. While I've got my plagiarism policy listed in the syllabus, the institution's full policy can be found online and in the college catalog.

This assignment will be graded according to the rubric available in Black Board.
