Serving You Community (Part II)

Good Morning!  Happy Monday and Welcome to our 2 day week!!  This morning for your blog I would like you to narrow down the response you gave on Friday regarding a variety of community issues and choose one.  For today's blog you should make a proposal to address a problem in your local community.  One way to do this is by proposing a solution.  Think about the following questions as you write your blog.  Remember that we have limited time for this class project - if there is a large, complex issue that really holds your interest think about ways to break it down into smaller chunks and view your proposal as the first step of the solution or just a small part of the solution.  Your post should address some, if not all, of the following questions:


  • What is the problem your proposal will address?
  • Who is affected by the problem?
  • What is causing the problem?   What is its history?
  • Has anyone tried to address this problem before?   How?   What happened?
  • How do people in the community feel about this problem?
  • What might some possible solutions be?   Weigh the pros and cons of each.
  • What questions do you have that would help you come to a possible solution?
  • What resources exist that might help you address this issue you have chosen?
Take your time - this is an important step in the process of choosing an issue!!  We will discuss as a class in a few minutes!
