  1. A PPT prepared by Luis Salazar with the colaboration of Antony López Problem Solution Organization Patterns

  2. Problem-SolutionEssay • Needed overall elements: • Persuasive Proposal • Real Problem (local) • Feasible Solution

  3. Basic Elements • Audience Analysis (who can solve the problem?) • Demonstrate that the problem exists • Demonstrate that the solution is feasible • Answer possible objections (and refute them!) • Adequate Support (research, interviews, surveys...)

  4. Possible Patterns

  5. Simple Problem-SolvingPattern • Introduction (thesis statement-problem) • The problem (background/demonstration) • The solution(s) • Answering possible objections • Conclusion (recommendation/call to action)

  6. AlternativeProblem-SolvingPattern • Introduction (thesis statement) • The problem (background/demonstration) • Evaluation of alternative solution 1 (not feasible + evidence) • Evaluation of alternative solution 2 (not feasible + evidence) • Evaluation of alternative solution 3 (feasible + evidence + answering objections) • Implementation plan • Conclusion (call to action)

  7. Step-by-StepProblem-SolvingPattern • Introduction (thesis statement) • The problem (background/demonstration) • Recommended solution/feasibility • Implementation plan: step 1 • Implementation plan: step 2 • Implementation plan: step 3 • Conclusion (call to action)

  8. Point-by-Point Problem-SolvingPattern • Introduction (thesis statement) • The overall problem (background/demonstration) • One part of the problem, its solution, evidence, possible objections • Second part of the problem, its solution, evidence, possible objections • Third part of the problem, its solution, evidence,possible objections • Conclusion: Implementation (call to action)

  9. Thesis Statements • 1 solution: • Even though some may argue against it, the problem in Montes de Oca with the San Pedro bus schedules can be solved by changing the company that provides the service so that the users’ needs are met. • 2 solutions: • Even though some may argue against it, the problem in Montes de Oca with the San Pedro bus schedules can be solved by either challenging MOPT into forcing the company to keep a steady schedule, or changing the company that provides the service so that the users’ needs are met.
