Argument to Inform-Essay parameters

Rhetorical Situation: Compose an essay that is an argument of fact with the intent to inform.

Informational writing is used to share knowledge and convey messages, instructions or ideas by making connections between the familiar and unfamiliar. It is important to master because it is used as a common writing strategy in academic, personal and job-related areas; as a tool that spans a range of thinking skills from recall to analysis and evaluation, and as a means of presenting information in prose.

Prompt: Inform your reader about the ways in which one prevalent issue affects a specific intended audience.
