I prefer the paper be about lack of affordable housing.
this is the info the teacher gave us:
Consider the social problems facing your local areathese could include homelessness; lack of public transportation;
lack of funding for childrens sports, elder care, or a dog park; poor schools; inconvenient school bus pickups and dropoffs; etc. The list, unfortunately, is probably long. For this assignment, choose a social problem in your area that
matters to you and propose a solution to it.
Note that you dont have to completely solve a big, complicated problem; just find a solution that will help. For example, inadequate public transportation.
Complete this assignment as a written essay.
Use at least five secondary sources; at least two must come from our library (including the online databases).
To earn extra credit, conduct an interview (Zoom, phone, and email are fine) with an expert.
Incorporate at least one graph or chart; you may want to present the budget required to support the service or
the number of students using it. Dont forget to correctly cite your graphs/charts source.
Use appropriate strategies from the texts introductory and conclusion techniques.
Use at least one rhetorical strategy.
Use different media (images, sound clips, video links).
In order to cover the content thoroughly, you will probably need at least four pages of text (this does not include
your Works Cited page.

Tips on Structure
1. Do not a multi-part thesis and one body paragraph on each of those parts.
2. You may wish to start with a narrative, telling the story of someone affected by this problem, even yourself. Be
sure youre using one of the introductory techniques from the text.
3. Be sure you lay out exactly what the problem is and back this up with data. For example, how many bus routes
run in your town? Do they enable users to easily access all main commercial areas and government services,
such as the library or park?
4. Dont forget the counterargument, concession, and refutation.
5. Then offer your solution, again supported with research and data.
6. Make sure the focus of each paragraph is clear early in the paragraph. A body paragraph should support and
develop one particular idea that is clearly related to the thesis.
7. Make sure the paragraphs flow logically from one another.
8. Be sure youre using a conclusion technique from the text.
