Title: Unit 7: Assignment: Letter to the Editor
Course: Advanced Composition for the Digital Age SP14 > Section: Unit 7: Problem/Solution

The Opinion Page

Imagine that you are writing a letter to the editor of the local newspaper about your issue. What would you want the readers of that news source to know about your issue. Most Letters to the Editor are woefully misleading and uninformed.

In roughly 200 words, summarize your issue and potential solutions.^* You'll want to find ways to get people motivated to act on your suggestions. Extra credit for those who actually submit letters and have them printed in a paper, or published editorials (submitting in the comments section does not count). Every student is allowed to start one discussion, but you are certainly able to respond in any of the threads.

Please comment on other posts. Discuss your reaction to others' posts and commentary.
