Proposals identify an problem, put forth plans of action, and seek to persuade readers to implement these plans. In this assignment, you will write a proposal that formulates a problem, considers the alternatives, and offers a solution directed to a particular individual or group. You will also rely on research in order to make the proposal as detailed and plausible as possible. In order to develop a workable project, begin by identifying an existing situation in school, at work, or in your community that calls for attention. Choosing a problem with which you have a direct and local investment will help you to do the following: You can imagine how each of the example statements above would enable the proposal writer to research the resources needed to implement the idea and then craft a detailed set of steps for implementation. You will want to find a problem
that allows you to do the same level of research and idea development. Title page: Provides the title of your proposal, to whom the report is submitted, who wrote the report, and the date. Type each of these items on a separate line, and center each line. Executive summary: Provides the title of the proposal and name of the writer at the top. Then, states in one paragraph the problem and describes the solution. The final draft of your proposal should include each of the following sections. Create your own descriptive sub-heading for each section. Start this portion of the document on a new page. Make sure to follow exactly the citation guide in your textbook when working on each citation. The works cited list is never numbered but is always alphabetized. Every reference on the list should match a clearly labeled in-text citation in the body of your proposal.
