1. Identify and analyze a problem that you encounter in your everyday life, something with which you are very familiar. It can be a major issue (such as a belligerent neighbor or an emergency, such as a flood or fire), a minor annoyance (like misplacing your keys or always running late), or anything in between.
2. Brainstorm several possible solutions to the problem.
3. Organize the ideas for solutions that you generate, focusing on at least three main points.
4. In a post to the discussion board, describe the problem, list your possible solutions, conclusion that reflects how you organized your ideas and which one(s) you think are the most likely to work.
