Problem-solution writing first explains a problem and then proposes one or more
solutions to that problem. Often this type of writing requires more than one paragraph.
A problem paragraph describes and discusses a problem issue. The topic sentence
names the issue you will discuss. The supporting sentences show why this issue is a
problem.

Activity 1: FILL THE GRAPHIC!

Direction: From the story read, fill in the graphic organizer.

Jermel was going to watch for the first time a musical play Beauty and the
Beast at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) theater. The problem was that
Jermel didn’t know how much about the presentation. So, to solve his dilemma, he
took some action. First, he went to the library and read about musical plays. Then,
he borrowed a book in which he could read about the “Beauty and the Beast.” Little
did he know that his best friend’s aunt was a stage performer. So, he met her to
personally ask about the play. After accomplishing all of these, he confidently
watched the play with his friends and was very appreciative of the opportunity.
