Instructions
The goal of the proposal is to create a working thesis statement and basic research plan
that considers context, audience, purpose, and presents potential sources. A proposal
is not an outline, as it does not structure the paper. Rather, a proposal offers direction
for research needs and gives your professor an opportunity to provide feedback before
the drafting process.
Access the Con-Position Proposal Template and complete the six required sections:
 Subject
 Research Question
 Claim
 Research Plan
 Synthesis Matrix (Add the 3 con sources.)
 Reference Page
For an example proposal, refer to pages 269-270 of our textbook.
