Opinion Editorial Writing

Policy Opinion Editorial: each student will write a 500 word letter to the editor that documents important societal problems at the local, state or Federal level and identifies a policy prescription to address the problem.

d. Present your main policy recommendation/solution to your problem, and assess it according to both political and economic feasibility: 

e. Summary/Future Issues: Here, you can restate your problem and solution briefly and tie them into how you see things developing in the future
