2. Research how you would help fix this problem.
3. Create a government agency to combat the problem.
4. Design a poster to inform the public about your new agency.
5. On a separate piece of paper, you will:
a. Write a paragraph describing the problem.
b. Write a paragragh describing how your agency will help fix the problem
c. Write a paragraph that explains your poster.
