Your proposal will serve as the beginning of a conversation between you and me about your final essay.  I want to know what topic you are discussing and what you intend to say about it. You’ll need to limit yourself to a single issue because this is only a 4 – 7 page paper.
Your thesis will be your conclusion about your columnist’s viewpoint on a certain issue or your viewpoint on a current topic. The substance of your essay will support that thesis with examples from at least 3 – 5 sources.
Your proposal will consist of five parts:
Your topic – What issue will you discuss? It might be your columnist’s view on an issue or your own opinion about a current topic
Your thesis – A complete sentence about your topic – what will you argue in your essay?
Your background with your topic – Have you researched it before? Have you written papers on this topic? It’s fine if you have, but I’ll need to know that this is a separate paper, written specifically for this class. What is your reason for choosing this topic.
Possible research you might use as a basis for your argument.  Please don’t write “Google.”  I know you’ll use Google.
Any sort of problems you foresee? Will you be able to find enough information? Will the information be mostly biased one way or another?
