Project 3: Write a 1,200-1,700 word (4-7 pages, double spaced) argumentative/persuasive "open letter" regarding a problem that concerns you and a solution you pose. What is the problem, and what do you want your audience to do about it?
You will identify the specific audience you are addressing the "letter" to. This should be any individual or group whom you want to take action on your problem. However, as an "open letter” (as opposed to a personal email or an old-fashioned snail mail letter) consider that you are speaking broadly to a general audience whom you want to overhear what you are saying.
The essay should include:
● An introduction with a thesis statement that introduces the main ideas of the essay
● Organized body paragraphs that begin with transitions and topic sentences
● A conclusion
● MLA documentation
● Some personal experience that informs your viewpoint
● At least 5 secondary research sources. Two of these must come from sources accessed through the library.
