      • Topic
      • Thesis Statement, which should consist of your topic and your stance on the topic.
    • EXAMPLE:

  • 300-word Research Proposal:

Study the MLA Research Paper Formatting Guidelines.
    • The research proposal should be written in complete sentences and should be separated into four sections, labeled:
      • Topic: state the topic you have selected.
      • Stance: state your position (for or against) the topic.
      • Plans for Supporting the Stance: give examples of the types of information you plan to gather to support your topic.
