Chapter 6 of St. Martin's text is on Proposal Writing
JW Suggests, first steps, if you choose to use this form:
Identify a problem to address
Consider feasibility of possible solutions
Choose a potentially cost-effective solution
GATHER SUPPORTING EVIDENCE
Consider EMOTIONAL APPEALS!
The Chapter introduction suggests three areas to find ideas:
On Campus
In the Community
At Work
The Genre's basic features:
A focused, well-defined problem
A well-argued solution
An effective response to objections & alternative solutions
Models Presented
"More Testing, More Learning"
"Fighting Bullying with Babies"
"Win-Win Flexibility"
Reminder to think about perspective taking
JW suggests learning about "frames."
Why would a strict-father person go along with
"Fighting Bullies with Babies?"
Why would a nurturing mother type support
a "tough-love" punishment of freeway-cleaning?
A Proposal will be ONE of your options for the Research Paper.
Brainstorm some possible topics of interest.
