PROPOSAL

What is a proposal?!?

What is a proposal?

• Definition: (n) a plan or suggestion that is given formally to an official person or group

• Examples: 1) Student Union’s proposal to WFLMS Admin about backpacks in classrooms; 2) research proposal; 3) small business proposal

Remember

• A proposal is a formal type of writing

• Audience is usually a business, or someone in control of something

• Use formal language

• The purpose of a proposal to suggest some form of action – what do you want your audience to do?

Before you write

goals and objectives• Know your audience• Keep track of all of your research/prep work• Make a personal connection with your

audience

How to write a proposal

• Factual Title

• Addressed to a specific person/group

Paragraph One

• This should very clearly state what problem you wish to address and the general idea of how you are proposing to solve it.

• Leave the details for the next few paragraphs

Body Paragraphs

• These should each talk about a different issue in the proposal.

• Your proposal should have several steps that must be taken to solve the problem.

• So, each body paragraph should go into detail about a different issue and how your proposal will resolve each issue

Final Paragraph

• This paragraph should reiterate (say again, but in different words) why the proposal will help solve the problem.

• Give contact information so your audience can get in touch with you

• Do NOT sign it

Homework
