Support your discussion and argument by using at least FOUR credible, reliable, and relevant secondary sources and TWO sources that provide information about governmental, non-governmental organizations, non-profit organizations, or individual efforts that address the topic you’ve selected.
Audience:
People who live in the Bay Area. Consider what tone, vocabulary, examples, and structure are most appropriate for this audience and for this assignment.

Additional recommendations for rough drafts:
Provide at least a basic proofreading/spellchecking of your draft. The more errors you catch on your own, the fewer we need to review and the more we can focus on helping you to fine tune your draft.
Make an effort to follow MLA guidelines for formatting (double-spaced using 10-12 point font, 1″ margins) and source citation (in-text and annotated bibliography) in your rough draft so we may help you with any problems or errors you may have.
In order for your final draft to be eligible to receive at least a passing grade (C), you must:
Turn in your final draft by the established deadline (or use your late option if you have not used it for a previous final draft).
Address the prompt in a responsible and relevant manner by considering your audience, demonstrating thought about the issues at hand, and including use of at least FOUR credible and reliable secondary sources and TWO sources that provide information about governmental, non-governmental organizations, non-profit organizations, or individual efforts that address the topic you’ve selected.
