In this proposal (3-4 pp.) you need to clearly display a firm understanding of the topic based on sources you have researched. It must be at least 3-4 pages, have at least 3 sources, and use MLA formatting/citation.  The proposal must include these sections:
Background and Reasons of Interest ● Why are you interested in this issue/question/area? ● Why is this something that others should be concerned about? ● What is the history of the public conversation about this idea? What has been said about your idea in the past, by whom? Look from a variety of angles. (Use sources to back this up!)

Research ● What is your research question(s)? Try to only have 1. Remember that the research question needs to open your mind, and the minds of your readers. ● Introduce and summarize briefly each piece of research you have collected. Make sure to quote and cite from each source using MLA format! Write why each source is important to your research question. (This should be the majority of this section) ● Finally, write about the research you still need to do. What do you want to learn more about and where and how will you find this information? * Try to use only academic sources.
Audience/Benefits (Complete this section last, after you have enough research) ● Who do you imagine the audience to be? ● What action do you want your audience to take after reading your findings.
Works Cited ● Create a Works Cited page listing at least the 3 sources cited in correct MLA format.
