Order Description

Current Reality: This is where you will collect evidence about the current state of the problem. You will want to support your statement with concrete facts about the issue. This is a great place for statistics and percentages that help to explain the state of the problem. This section should be 2 pages double spaced.

How it Affects Different Groups of People: Your first step here will be to identify all the parties affected by your issue. (ie: if your topic is sexual assaults in the military your affected parties would be women in the military, the men who commit the acts of violence, the military leaders who have failed to make effective policies to counteract this problem, all the way up to the President of the United States and world leaders for women’s rights.) I expect you to find at least 3 resources including personal stories of people who are affected by this issue (this can include blogs, newspaper articles, or interviews you conducted yourself). This section will also be 2 pages double spaced.

Proposed Solution(s): This is where you will propose a solution to your problem. This is NOT where you make up your own solution off the top of your head. This is where you should show that you have researched viable options presented by other researchers (you should have at least 2 proposed plans that you are citing as resources). Then using the peer reviewed research you will present your own solution either improving on one of the two you cited or combining the two ideas. This should also be 2 pages double spaced.

Predicted Effects: This is your reflection piece where you imagine the results that your plan hopes to achieve. This is what the world would look like if your idea comes to fruition. ? In this section you need to address the effects on all of the same groups that you mentioned in part 2 of this assignment. This section will be 1-2 pages double spaced.

Works Cited: All of the resources that you used must be cited properly in MLA format in a formal works cited page at the end of your project. Use your MLA handout and research notes to help you with this.
