Changes happen in every town and city. What change is your community facing? Perhaps there is a debate about closing a landfill or building a new school. Perhaps new housing developments are emerging in what used to be farmers' fields, or perhaps roadside graffiti or trash is a problem. Identify a local problem that interests you. Write a persuasive article as if you were a guest columnist for your local newspaper. Identify the problem, express your opinions, and ask your readers to take specific action.
