Assignment Description:

Proposal arguments are one of the most common types of arguments that you will read or write in many

workplace settings. Proposals typically call for some kind of action or change; they call on an audience

to come to a decision and to do something. In light of this, proposal arguments typically rise out of

existing problems and often framed as solutions. Basically: “We should do X.”

Your task: Argue for a practical proposal that offers a specific solution to some kind of local or

immediate problem.

Practical proposals tend to be narrow in scope and focus on what should happen in the here and now.

Not just: should we build more parking spaces on campus?—instead: how many new spaces should be

added? Why should they be built? And where? When should we start? Regardless of your topic, keep in

mind the essential pieces of a proposal:

1. Convince your target audience that a problem exists—and that it needs immediate attention.

2. Convince them to follow a specific course of action to solve the problem.

Assignment Goals:

– Focus on a specific rhetorical purpose

– Continued practice identifying relevant social issues

– Continued practice using written rhetorical strategies

Audience:

This time, I want you to write for an audience that has the power to act on the issue you are writing

about. It will be up to you to ascertain who this audience is. You’ll need to describe/identify this

audience in written detail early in our writing process for this assignment.

Criteria Worth Considering:

– Effective use of proposal argumentation strategies

– Demonstration of critical thought

– Integration of secondary sources with your central argument

– Proper use of MLA guidelines for citations

– Evidence of revision from early drafts to final draft

– Evidence of final editing and proofreading

Secondary Sources:

You will find and cite evidence from at least 7 credible secondary sources for this paper. (Much more

about this later, in class.)

Length Requirement: 5
