Write a three-to-four page Proposal Argument in which you try to persuade<\/b> the appropriate audience to accept your solution to a real-life problem.<\/p>\n
This problem could be connected to where you work or connected to any organization for which you work either for pay, as a volunteer, or as a member (present or<\/b> recent past). This could include clubs, fraternities, sororities, or sports teams to which you belong. Remember, your audience<\/b> must be the decision maker or decision makers who have the power<\/b> to enact your proposed solution.<\/p>\n
Carefully<\/b> follow the plan below, as adapted from your text: Start your proposal by following the Memo Format and Headings <\/b>as shown on pages 330-335 <\/b>of your text.<\/p>\n
Then use the following four <\/b>headings for each section of your proposal: Proposal<\/b>, Problem<\/b>, Solution<\/b>, Conclusion<\/b>.<\/p>\n
PROPOSAL:<\/b> (on page one, two spaces beneath the memo format, look at pages 330-335 of our text if needed)<\/p>\n
Tell your audience specifically<\/b> what you propose they should do in one or two<\/b> sentences only. This means clearly summing up your solution<\/b> in just one to two sentences. The solution is<\/b> the proposal. Get to the point. Be specific. You’ll write the details in the Solution Section below, but here make it short.<\/p>\n
PROBLEM:<\/b> Start on first page, two spaces below the Proposal Section, one-to-two pages long)<\/p>\n
1. Explain and Describe<\/b> the precise nature of the problem in specific detail as needed for your particular audience.<\/p>\n
2. Persuade<\/b> your audience that the problem is real and has consequences for them, not just you.<\/p>\n
3. Provide<\/b> reasoning why your audience should be concerned about this problem. <\/p>\n
Solution<\/b>: (start on the second or third page depending on the overall length of your document, two spaces below the Problem Section, one-to-two pages)<\/p>\n
1. Describe your solution in a convincing<\/b>, clear, and detailed<\/b> way.<\/p>\n
2. Persuade<\/b> your audience that your solution is feasible<\/b> and will solve<\/b> the major parts of the problem as you presented it above.<\/p>\n
3. Persuade<\/b> your audience that your solution is better than the possible alternative<\/b> solutions.<\/p>\n
4. Present all the likely costs<\/b> to your proposal in a convincing manner.<\/p>\n
5. Persuade your audience that the overall benefits<\/b> of your solution will outweigh the costs<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/b> (two spaces below the Solution Section, short paragraph of 3-5 sentences)<\/p>\n
1. Leave your readers with a sense of real confidence<\/b> and optimism<\/b> about the future if your proposal is accepted.<\/p>\n
Research<\/b>: Where it makes sense in your argument, you must also use<\/b> and cite<\/b> at least two sources<\/b> to help your argument. Put your in-text citation of a source in a signal phrase or phrase of attribution like the following: According to the Journal of Safety Training<\/b>, “thousands of employees a year miss work due to work-place accidents.” Or, for another pattern: “Good training is essential to the success of any organization,” according to the Journal of Business Management<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Add a short “Works Cited” page at the end of your proposal. Follow the simple MLA formant (click on the “MLA OWL link” if you need help)<\/p>\n
Format and organize<\/b> your proposal argument by starting with the memo format followed by the four major headings above for each section: Proposal<\/b>, Problem<\/b>, Solution<\/b>, Conclusion<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Write your proposal using standard one-inch margins, twelve-point- type, New Times Roman or Calibri typeface, single spaced<\/b>, and with all lines<\/b> flush left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
