In our pre-writing assignments, we generally propose more than one idea but for this one you should focus on one idea. Review the attached assignment for the essay before proceeding to make sure that your idea fits the criteria. Also, keep in mind that you will be required to find at least THREE SOURCES to support your argument. The source requirement should inform your decision of topic, but doesn't necessarily rule out an option. Depending on the issue that you are seeking to address, you should be able to find supporting documents to cite. If you are addressing the proposal to members of your workplace, you may need to use trade journals. If you are proposing something to a larger group (i.e. church community, non-profit organization, government office) you will be able to pull on many different types of articles to support your proposal.
Your proposal for...well...your proposal essay should be clear about the issue that you are addressing, to whom you are addressing the issue, the steps that your proposal will take to address the problem, and who is responsible for following through on the proposal. This should be approximately 200-300 words and may be listed. However, keep in mind that the more specific you can be in your pre-writing, the more your peers and instructor can help to guide your ideas.
