When communicating a message to our next president, you have the challenge of identifying, researching, and writing publicly about issues that matters to you, your family and your community. In order to keep the issues focused, we have created a list for you to choose from. These are well published issues which will have lots of pros and cons to support each side. Your job is to choose an issue, research, cite and begin writing. All things related to your research will be posted here or on your Google Classroom.
