Homework: Con-Position Topic & Proposal
For this homework, you will select a topic different from the pro topic you worked. Conduct research on the topic and locate articles that takes a clear con position.
Next, develop a con-position proposal for this new topic. The goal of the proposal is to create a working thesis statement and basic research plan that considers context, audience, purpose, and presents potential sources. A proposal is not an outline, as it does not structure the paper. Rather, a proposal offers direction for research needs and gives your professor an opportunity to provide feedback before the drafting process.
Access the Con-Position Proposal Template and complete the six required sections:
1. Subject
2. Research Question
3. Claim
4. Research Plan
5. Synthesis Matrix (Add the 3 con sources.)
6. Reference Page
