This document provides an agenda for a class discussing problem solution essays. It introduces two sample essays that propose solutions to problems and outlines the basic features of the genre. These features include a well-defined problem, a well-argued solution, an effective counterargument, an evaluation of alternative solutions, and a readable plan. The document guides students through an analysis of the sample essays based on these features. It then instructs students to generate topics for their own problem solution essay by identifying problems within various communities and groups.
