Letter to the Editor Rubric – E-P-I-CEngage Your AudienceHere, you want to get your audience’s attention with a dramatic fact or short statement. Keep this opening statement to one sentence if possible.
Problem-State the ProblemHere you present causes of the problem you introduced in the first section. How widespread or serious is the problem?
Inform about SolutionsHere you inform the audience about a solution to the problem you just presented. Develop your solution by examples of how and where it has worked. You could site a recent study or report or tell a first-person account of how the solution has impacted you or others you know.
Call to ActionNow that you’ve engaged your audience, presented the problem and informed them of a solution, what do you want them to do? Make the action something specific.
