1. Opioid Overdoses<
<
Write an essay offering a solution—or solutions—to the problem of opioid overdoses in the United States.<
<
Your purpose is two-fold:<
to convince your audience that opioid overdoses is a problem and<
to convince your audience that your solution(s) should be adopted.<
Make sure that your solution—or solutions—will actually work:<
that they have worked elsewhere,<
that they have worked in similar situations, or<
that credible experts believe that they will work.<
For this topic, you should focus more on the solution part of your essay—rather than on the problem part—since most people in your audience will already agree that opioid overdoses is a problem.<
Use Andrey-Smith’s “Why the Inventor of the Antidote Naloxone Lost His Stepson to Heroin…” as one of your sources—and cite (quote) it in your essay.<
Also use at least four sources beyond that essay—and cite them in your essay.<
