Submit your assignment here as a file attachment ending in .docx, .doc, or .rtf.
Your Topic Proposal will:
Present at topic that is appropriate for the essay assignment requirements
Identify why your topic is worth exploring, why it matters to you
Identify who your audience is (who are you persuading to consider action around your topic)?
Have a workable approach to researching the topic
Show your interest in the topic and how it will be a worthwhile topic to explore further
Be MLA formatted
By writing out your proposal, your research will likely be more organized and focused. Also, by sitting down and thinking through the project, you will likely feel more prepared for the task of research and writing.
Remember: you are not expected to have a decided opinion on the topic (or a conclusion/solution to the topic); rather, you are expected to display your current knowledge on the topic at this point and your means of becoming more of an expert on the subject that will lead you to the direction your essay, your focus, your audience, and your proposal will take.
Your proposal should answer the following questions:
What is the issue/topic? Why should your audience care about it? (Your audience will be other people affected by the issue: at work, school, or another community you belong to).
What question(s) are you trying to answer?
What is your tentative solution or opinion on the issue at this point? (this would be an asnwer to the questions you are posing). It’s likely that your tentative solution or perspective will evolve- particularly if you are thinking critically as you research. Do you have a working thesis statement? If yes, include it in the proposal, but note where you need more information and/or what questions still need answering.
How will your research be conducted? What databases will you use to find helpful sources on this issue? Who will be good to talk to ? What have you witnessed or exerienced that would serve as a source for the essay? Have you started research already? If yes, what have you found?
Explain any roadblocks you foresee occurring while doing your research or during the writing of this essay.
Length Requirements:
Your proposal should be approximately one page (double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt. font).

Topic Proposal Assignment
A topic proposal is written to persuade a specific reader to accept a project before major research is begun or while it is in its early stages. You’ve already begun to explore topics in recent discussion forums, so hopefully you already have a pretty good idea what you want to write about. The topic proposal provides a framework for how you plan to organize the process of writing your essay.
Your proposal will introduce the persuasive research topic and explain why it is worth researching and writing about. Proposals should note your particular interest with the topic and how you will go about finding more information about and solutions to the topic (where you will look exactly—which databases, which websites, books, newspapers, etc.).
