You are a citizen of Tempe, AZ and/or ASU. You have noticed a problem and you have researched some solutions that you think will solve the problem. You need to propose this solution to someone who has the power to make the changes to solve the problem.
Topic: You should pick a problem that is in your local community and that you can provide a reasonable solution to.
Audience: The person or group who has the power to implement the solution that you propose (This person or group may have serious reservations about your solution, or have tried other solutions and be skeptical about how much change can be made).
Format: This is a formal document with an intended target audience (you will need to find out who this is). You will therefore need:
1.) A letter of introduction (cover letter)
2.) A proposal paper, with detailed discussion of the problem and a thorough description/breakdown of your solution.
You’ll need to show that you understand the context of the problem (what’s already been tried, the concerns of the stakeholders and audience, the benefits of your solution over others) and provide support from primary and secondary sources (which means you will include in-text citations and a works cited page, of course)
Length/Sources: Minimum 4 pages for the proposal paper, not including the introductory letter or works cited page. Include the five sources from you annotated bibliography and any additional sources you reference.
Grading Criteria:
– Writer provides clear and formal cover letter (addressed to a particular person or group)
– Introduction is engaging, shows the readers that the problem discussed in the proposal does exist.
– Body clearly explains why proposed solution is worth choosing over others (costs, benefits etc.)
– Writer anticipates readers’ questions about or objections to his/her proposed causes.
– Writer provides effective structural cues to help readers to follow the organization of ideas in the paper.
– Conclusion reinforces the importance of solving the problem and that the proposed solution is best.
– Writer has edited and proofread carefully; there are few places in the text where readers may have difficulty with sentences or be distracted by errors.
