Research your topic, following the research rules in the Team Project Overview (minimum 6 sources; must include a book of some kind, a scholarly article, and a credible website). Create the cited Problem and Solutions section with an APA format References page, as follows:
-Write a thorough exploration of the problem using a specific, descriptive main heading that names the problem and at least two sub-headings; do not assume any prior knowledge on the part of your audience (write with secondary audiences in mind). Use a Canadian perspective on the problem, please. Make sure to consider the 5W's: who, what, when, where, why - and how - and to organize your information logically; for example, "what" should come before "who" and "how many". Always organize by content, never by source. For most problems, a definition is a good starting point. Consider whether you need to explore any or all of the following: legal framework, statistics or trends, causes, negative effects. As you write, make sure that every sentence supports the focus of the current heading/subheading, and that the connections between ideas are always clear. Every sentence in the problem section should NEED to be cited: present research-based facts only, without essay-style commentary or generalizations.
-Note: if you cannot find Canadian data (a rare problem these days), you can use US data if you:
-Clearly acknowledge the data is American in-text and
-Cite a source that clarifies that the problem is similar in both countries.
-Under a "Solutions" heading, introduce the section with a brief summary (not description) of the solution options, and then use a minimum of three sub-headings to explore at least three unique and distinct ways to solve the problem as a whole (do not attempt to explore solutions that address only one part of the problem at a time). For each solution, begin with a clear solution statement (e.g. "X could solve the problem of Y by..."), and then fully explain the solution idea. Some of this may be brainstormed; provide as much research-based support as possible (this can include international research from countries with related socioeconomic cultures). Be careful to discuss the solution objectively as a possibility only (using "could/might" language), without subjective or definitive analysis (don't say what "should" be done, or what is "good/better/best", or even what "will" happen, etc.).
-Following a complete explanation, identify the pros and cons for each solution under separate sub-sub-headings (level 3). Be as specific as possible with as much research support as possible.
-Organize ideas carefully so that the content under each heading clearly supports that heading only (e.g. don't misplace pros/cons in the explanation section or explanations in the pros/cons sections).
