Present an argument that the problem is solvable. Presentation of your proposal: Give a brief statement of the proposed solution that serves as a thesis statement. explain the specifics of the proposed solution. Offer a summary and rebuttal of opposing views. Justification: In this section you want to persuade the reader that your proposed solution is the best course of action for solving the problem. Focus on presenting the most persuasive reasons you can find. Conclusion: In this paragraph you want to look at the “big picture” of the issue at hand, and exhort your audience to see the merit of your solution. Weigh all the pros and cons, and end by accenting the fact your solution is the best all-around for solving the problem at hand. ____________________________________________________________________________ SEE ATTACHED FOR ALL ESSAY REQUIREMENTS
