Do you plan to stick with an issue you read about in your studio work as a jumping off point, or do you still need to keep looking?
What you might be struggling with regarding how to choose an LOI or with what we are doing
Describe the primary issue you’d like to explore and why you see it as worth exploring
Describe other issues you might be considering and why
You can use this to wrestle with more than one issue you might be considering (if you are still deciding), or what are some questions or curiosities you have dealing with several issues that could become a focus later. This exercise is very open in terms of what you can choose to write about.
Why this issue matters and who it matters for
Where you’ve observed this issue/problem (specific examples) occurring around you
This may be a good place to think about visual evidence ideas. You may write about ideas and/or include videos or images in your response.

What is the original text (from studio or other sources)? What else have you read?
TRY TO TALK ABOUT 2 SPECIFIC TEXTS THAT YOU HAVE READ. (YOU CAN PULL FROM STUDIO WORK FOR THIS.)

What you know about it already and where that knowledge/information came from
What experiences you have that connect with this issue
What specific questions you have or what you need to find out about regarding the issue
What kinds of things you might expect to find during your research
What problems you anticipate encountering during your research (bias, superficial info, not enough info, etc.)
What preconceived opinions, values, or influences you are entering with (There’s no such thing as: I don’t have any.)
DO NOT BULLET POINT OR LIST ANSWERS. THIS SHOULD BE CONVERSATIONAL AND INFORMAL. IT SHOULD SOUND LIKE YOU WHEN YOU ARE JUST TALKING OUT YOUR IDEAS.
