ons specified for a proposal

What to do : Write a proposal presenting the topic of your project and directing it to the person or
organization or both that will receive your project documents. Describe the problem; your ideas for
change; the benefits and drawbacks of your ideas; your qualifications for investigating the topic and
developing your analytical report; and your schedule of activities.
Include a graphic that shows your research plan and schedule. You can include other graphics to
support your argument or show a budget if you like. Use July 21, which is the due date for the
analytical report, as the project's completion date in your schedule. (Review the guidelines for
integrating text and graphics in the Text/Graphic Integration handout in the Course Content to learn
how to present your graphics, such as your project schedule, seamlessly in your proposal.)
Include some primary and secondary research to support your argument in your proposal by
incorporating information from at least three sources, including at least one source obtained through
primary research and one source through secondary research. You can find more information about
primary and secondary research in chapter 6 of the Markel textbook. Supporting your ideas with
information from credible sources will make your proposal more persuasive to your audience. Cite
information from other sources using in-text citations and then cite your secondary sources in the
References section of your proposal. Follow APA guidelines in citing your sources.
Use a memo format if you are writing your proposal to an internal audience, or a business letter format
