Create a proposal of 2 pages that references one secondary academic, scholarly* source for the research paper you intend to complete. This paper should engage at least one academic source, should include an introduction and thesis to the best extent that you know it at this point in time, and should locate a central controversy that requires deft and subtle handling. Be sure to adhere to MLA style for in-text citation and final works cited page.
*Only scholarly sources should be used in assignments. These include peer-reviewed publications, government reports, or sources written by a professional or scholar in the field. Wikipedia, Wikis, .com websites or blogs should not be used as anyone can add information to these sites.
Generic Guidelines for Scholarly Sources:
the author has a Ph.D. or other terminal degree,
the work appears in a multi-volume, peer-reviewed journal, and has ample references at the end.
The articles provided in the count as academic sources.
Guidelines for the Proposal
A proposal offers a detailed and full description of your paper (as best you know it at the time of writing) in no more or less than 2 pages. To succeed, students will need to find at least one source of information related to their topics. Students may work with their professors to identify areas of inquiry or may accept a topic and focus from the list. Understand that you are making a best effort to describe your paper early on, but allow yourself to be open to growth and change as you conduct research and focus your intentions.
Select a topic from among those suggested below or discuss a special topic with your professor (Students must construct a thesis statement from the proposed topics, developing one singular argument):
