A proposal essay, in our case, is an essay that 1) names a problem and provides a solution; 2) Describes a goal or desired circumstance and suggests a course of action to achieve that goal or attain that circumstance. For this assignment, each student will
• Choose a problem to solve or goal to achieve
• Do (and show) prewriting
• Bring a hard copy of an advanced draft to class on the assigned date
• Participate in small-group peer review of the draft of each group member
• Submit a final draft for a grade (after revisions are made), along with prewriting and edited rough draft on the assigned due date.
A proposal is a particular kind of argument that advances ideas for the solution to a problem or suggestions for actions to be taken in pursuit of some goal.
For the purposes of this class, our proposals will be presented in essay form, which means that they will conform to MLA conventions for format and citation, as well as exhibit a three-part structure: introduction, body, and conclusion.
Successful proposal essays will contain some aspects of all of the following key features:
A clearly-stated problem or goal. If the proposal is for a solution to a problem, then it is necessary to inform the reader early on about the problem being addressed. Even seemingly obvious or highly publicized problems, such as global warming, should be clearly and succinctly articulated. It should never be assumed that the reader just knows about any particular problem or situation. The same considerations should be applied to proposals for action to taken toward a goal. The goal should be carefully stated.
A clearly- stated solution or course of action. This being the reason for the essay to exist, it will most often appear as its thesis statement and be expanded and specified in the body of the essay.
A cogent argument for the solution or proposed course of action. Here the facts should be accurate and reliably sourced, and the inferences and logic should be in order. This is the body of the essay; it is the engine room that drives the argument and largely determines its success.
A response to known or anticipated abjections. Taking on the strongest or best known opposing argument and answering it with solid logic and facts is one of the most effective ways of winning readers to your side of the issue. This can be done before the main argument or after.
A clear recommendation of a course of action, intellectual, or methodological approach. No one likes to be made aware of problems without being given hope for solutions. Presumably your proposal essay contains your vision of an improved future, so say it loudly (be clear and specific about remedies).
An appropriate tone. If you are employing irony or producing some kind of satire, make it plain that your true position is actually different from the one being portrayed. Too much subtlety can interfere with the acceptance of your argument.
