Instruction
- THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL MUST BE A CANADIAN GOVERNEMENT OFFICIAL
Write a letter to an appropriate government official and attempt to persuade them to support your cause.
The letter is much more informal than your report as you can use personal pronouns.
Your job will be to synthesize your information and summarize the main points into three paragraphs. You have a limit of 350 words so BE CONCISE.
Put your name, the name of your school, and date in the top left corner.
DO NOT share any personal information.
Section 1
Introduce yourself, your reason for writing, and what you hope the outcome will be by writing to this official
Section 2
Explain the importance of this issue as it relates to the government official
Who are the official’s constituents? Why would this be important to them, and therefore important to the official
Provide specific examples from your research that you believe would be important to this official. You need to pick the best examples in order to be convincing. You can't include all of your research so you need to be VERY selective
Section 3
Explain what steps the official needs to take to address the problem
Explain the impact that these steps will have
Sincerely,
Your Name
