Research paper:
What: For this essay, present plans and strategies you anticipate using in the construction of the Recommendation Report that will be featured later in the course. Inform the reader of your upcoming Recommendation Report's topic and your intended recommendation(s) regarding the issue; then give reasons for your selection of the topic, offer possible research source locations, and anticipate potential opposition to your recommendations.Compose multiple drafts of this short proposal assignment (revising for focus, development, and organization) and edit for grammar, punctuation, and clarity of delivery.
Topic: What is the problem or challenge that will be identified and researched in your Recommendation Report? Here are some suggestions from Contemporary Business Communications (Houghton Mifflin, 2009) to prompt your thinking:
Background: What background information will you need to gather to support your recommendations?
Objective: What do you want your audience to know and to do (or to change)? What do you plan to recommend?
Research: Where will you look for research to support your recommendation?
Audience: Who will be the audience reading your recommendation? The audience can be a single person (your boss, for example) or hundreds of thousands of people (a Congressional report, for example). The audience shapes how the report is written, how much detail is included, and what elements are incorporated.
