Genre Translation Invention Work?

Hi Jessica,
Hope I did this right...

Audience:

-School Boards in Utah

-I know this audience has the students best interests in mind.

-I'm guessing they have little knowledge about the topic of adultolescence. They would probably all know someone who is experiencing it but may not realize the problem it has become, and may at first assume that it is not something they can help since it is about kids who have graduated from high school, which is as far as they normally worry about. They may not have that much interest in the topic at first until I address the problem in more detail. They would need to know the statistics of adultolescence today and how it is increasing, and the negative effects it is having on the kids, the parents, and our society. Their values and beliefs are probably consistent with producing well adjusted and contributing 18 year olds into the world, and they know strong families and parents who have helpful tools to teach respect, honesty, and responsibility and apply consistent discipline make the classroom a better learning environment for students and teaching environment for teachers.

Purpose:

-I want to communicate to them that this is a problem and there is something we can do to help. Then I will explain the idea for a solution and how the school system will have to be involved to make a difference.

-I would like for my readers to be kind of skeptical and maybe not that interested at first to being like, "Wow, I never realized this is becoming such an issue in our day. I think this plan could really make a difference!" OR at least be thinking about the plan and if it could work.

Plan the Essay:

-The main ideas are that adultolescence is a problem, tell why, what is being done about it that's not working and what we can do about it.

-My thesis would be: Adultolescence in America is a growing issue as it is negatively effecting adult children and their imperative character building, parents and their retirement,family relationships, and all in all, our society, but if we start working at small levels we could make a huge difference.

-I don't think arguing the definition would be necessary.

-I can argue that this solution, if applied, will only have great results. Even if not everyone participates, those that do will benefit and word of mouth will get out that the classes are really helpful for parents and even for students in high school to feel more confident to leave the nest.

-I can incorporate the research into my paper by taking a few examples from each area of my subtopics to back up why this is a problem.
