Opinion Essay Proposal

Reminder: Your technology essay is an opinion piece. You are not required to consult

outside sources, although you can if you like. If you choose to use sources, use them

sparingly. The goal of this assignment is to present your own opinion, in a logical,

thorough, well-organized, and coherent manner.

1. What is your subject? In other words, what issue do you plan to discuss?

2. What is your opinion/position regarding this issue?

3. Why do you hold this opinion?

4. What is your thesis statement?

5. Write a 250-word summary of the main ideas you will discuss in the essay. You do

not have to organize the essay at this time, as you will be writing an outline later

this week. Your goal for this assignment is to pick an essay topic and to start

thinking about what you want to do with that topic.
