Assignment: Write an essay from four to six pages in length, that addresses the topic below. Use a minimum of three credible sources to support your argument.
Topic:
Write an essay proposing a solution to a well-defined problem faced by a community or group to which you may belong. Alternatively, you may address a well-defined problem faced by one of the districts or communities in The Hunger Games. Address your proposal to your audience: one or more members of the group, its leadership, or to outsiders who may be able to contribute to solving the problem.
Format Requirement: MLA-style formatting and citations
Length: Your finished text should be between four and six pages, excluding the Works Cited page.
A Works Cited page names all of the sources that were used in an essay or research paper; it credits the source or sources for the information you present, evaluate, analyze, and synthesize to support your thesis. A Works Cited page also serves as a reference to the sources that were used so that a reader or writer can quickly refer to the original text.
The Works Cited page for this research project must contain at least three entries using the library database. If you wish to use alternative sources, you must clear them with me.
