Composing Your Proposal
Points to Consider
![Page 2: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Identify and Define the Problem
![Page 3: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Problem: Parking at ASU
• There are not a sufficient number of parking spaces for students, faculty, or staff
• Students, faculty and staff are often late because they cannot locate an open space in their defined parking area
• Spaces are over-sold based on a formula that is no longer reasonable for a campus this size
![Page 4: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Make a strong and Clear Proposal Claim
![Page 5: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Proposal Claim:
• In an effort to maximize the available parking at ASU, ASU Parking Services should ban full-size trucks from all campus parking structures
![Page 6: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Note the reasons why your proposal ought to be implemented
![Page 7: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Reason:
• because full-size trucks present a safety hazard for pedestrians and drivers in the various parking structures on campus, and
![Page 8: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Note the effects of instituting your
proposal
![Page 9: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Effects:
• because instituting such a ban would reduce the number of injuries and accidents and would also help “free-up” parking spaces since many such trucks occupy more than 1 parking space.
![Page 10: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Explore Implications of the Claim
• Having established a claim, you can then explore its implications by drawing out the reasons and evidence that can support your claim most effectively
![Page 11: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Relate the Claim to a Need or Problem
• Parking on the Campus of ASU is a serious problem;
• There are not enough parking spaces for a large urban campus to which most students, faculty and staff commute;
• Parking lots and structures are often full to overflowing.
• Full-size trucks too often take up more than one parking space
![Page 12: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Relate the Claim to a Need or Problem
• Full-size trucks also obstruct the view of drivers and pedestrians in ASU parking structures;
• they present a safety concern and pose a serious danger; and
• Since they often occupy more than one space, they compound the problem of insufficient parking spaces.
![Page 13: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Demonstrate that your Proposal is
Feasible
![Page 14: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Demonstrate that your Proposal is Feasible—
• Convince your readers with Good Reasons why your proposal is fair and will work:
• Banning full-size trucks from parking structures will not pose additional costs,
• nor will it necessarily infringe on the rights of those who drive such vehicles.
![Page 15: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Offer a Solution if you have one
![Page 16: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Offer a Solution if you have one
• In order to facilitate this proposal, I suggest that ASU parking officials establish space for full-size trucks in all lots while banning them from all parking structures.
![Page 17: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
To Review:
– Compose a claim that proposes a practice or policy that
– addresses a problem or a need, – is action-oriented, – directed at the future, and – is appropriate to your audience.
![Page 18: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Be Sure to:
Incorporate statements that clearly relate the
proposal to the need or problem.
![Page 19: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Be Sure to:
Provide evidence that the proposal will effectively address the need or solve the problem, and that it is feasible
![Page 20: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Always Remember Your Audience
• Who are they?• What do they know about the
problem?• What are their concerns?• How best can you persuade them to
follow your proposed course?• What kinds of evidence will
persuade them?

Additional Considerations:
• You may want to begin with some discussion that defines/describes the problem and does so in such a way as to draw-in or “hook” your readers
• You may also decide to open with your proposal and the various support you have for it and then demonstrate how it addresses a particular need or solves a particular problem
![Page 22: Composing Your Proposal Points to Consider Identify and Define the Problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032800/56649d365503460f94a0deaa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Essential Elements:– statement and discussion of the problem (includes

including (as warranted): – an explanation of how the solution can
solve the problem; – methods to be used and procedures to be
followed; – personnel involved; – material equipment and facilities to be used; – amount of time required to implement the
solution; – cost of solution.
