Literature Research Assignment Sequence
Topic Proposal Guidelines
• Find a workable, feasible research topic
• Develop a strategy for dealing with it
• Convey your ideas for your paper in a concise manner
In a proposal of one page or 250 words, discuss the following questions in paragraph form:
• What is your main argument or working thesis?
• Why is this an important topic? What does it mean to you?
• What are some strategies and ideas you plan to use to argue your topic?
o How will these main ideas support your topic?
• Where will you look for sources?
Helpful Hints:
• Think through whether or not you can stretch your topic into a 4-6 page or 1200-1500 word paper with at least 4-6 secondary sources. If you have 4 pages with 1000 words - you have not met the requirement. Works Cited page does not count.
• Do not make your topic too broad. For instance, you cannot realistically discuss the theology of Paradise Lost in a 4-6 page paper without doing the work and the author an injustice of epic proportions.
• Your proposal should read as an advertisement of the paper that you want to write.
Proposal Requirements:
• Be one page or 250 words in length
• Answer the questions fully and thoughtfully in readable prose
• Have at least three supporting ideas for your argument, theory, or thesis and discuss each briefly
• Use MLA format
• Use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.
