The Assignment: Write a two to three page double-spaced (minimum of 500-750 word

The Assignment:
Write a two to three page double-spaced (minimum of 500-750 words) letter to the editor, proposing a solution to a current local problem. List the newspaper to which you would be sending this to at the top of your paper. Begin the letter with: “Dear Editor,” Throughout the paper, be as specific as you possibly can in terms of:
1.) Defining/describing the problem and who it affects
2.) Describing your solution
3.) Defending your solution as the best means of dealing with this problem
As you’re writing this letter, also do keep in mind your audience. As a reminder, your audience is not the actual editor of the newspaper. Instead, it is the local community that constitutes the readership of that newspaper.
Formatting Basics: In terms of formatting, 1-inch margins, 12-point Times New Roman font, and double-spacing are the basics that are generally preferred in academic writing. It is also helpful to indent the first line of each new paragraph. In terms of the program you use to save your work, Microsoft Word is preferred, but please just let me know if you have questions about other acceptable programs.
