The Problem
A problem-solution essay identifies the causes of a problem and then argues in favor of specific solutions. Unlike our previous essays, this essay requires you to develop a topic on your own. You must choose a specific problem, figure out what has led to that problem, and offer realistic, helpful solutions. We’ve already brainstormed the big, general topic choices below, so you need to narrow down and focus the specific problem within your topic choice.
Ø Bullying in school
After you’ve identified a problem, you’ll need to figure out the cause(s) of the problem before presenting specific recommendations for dealing with it.
Your Research
You must use two sources which you find. The sources must be credible and approved by your teachers. In addition, we will have some collaborative days so sources can be shared among similar topics.
