8 pages I need them tomorrow

Written Proposal:

Due by 11:59pm on Sunday, December 13:  Write a proposal that responds to the question you are assigned.  To do so, you will need to design a scenario.  You will need to decide who you are writing to and why. 

Use chapter 18 of Technical Communications to help you organize and format your proposal.  Be sure that you provide specific, thoughtful steps that your audience could enact.  You may use graphics or visuals to support your point.

You must also use the English 205 Library Guide (link found under each Moodle week starting November 3) in order to navigate the library website, databases, and find guidance from librarians. Spend some time playing around with the webpage and please reach out to me or Anna Fidgeon or Kimberly Embleton, librarians, for any questions.

Include the following sections in your proposal:

• Title page
• Cover letter (use this section to share your scenario with the readers)
• Table of contents
• List of illustrations
• Abstract
• Introduction
• Discussion
• Conclusion/Recommendation
• Glossary (if necessary)
• Works Cited page

Page Length:  The body of your proposal (Introduction, Discussion, and Conclusion/Recommendation) should be a MINIMUM of AT LEAST five single-spaced pages (may include images if you choose). Ultimately, the proposal should be long enough to convince your reader to support your recommendations.  Remember, though, that a business audience is often busy; avoid providing too much information that would complicate a solid understanding of the issues and the solutions.
