Proposal Outline

I.                   Introduction – avoid presenting facts in the introduction. If you must, you may have ONE statistic if it supports a dramatic opener, but remember you are simply introducing the topic.

 

Thesis Statement:__________________________

 

II.                Proposal 

This is an evaluation of the topic which ends with your proposed solution. This section includes the facts, data, and statistics that demonstrate you have evaluated your topic. You will make a proposal statement in this section.

III.             Solutions
This section takes the proposal statement and presents the solution to your proposal. You should include specific elements of your proposal. This may be a 3 part solution to the problem. If that is the case this section would most likely have 3 paragraphs

IV.             Argue for solutions

V.                Counter-argument

VI.             Conclusion – Do not put any new statistics/data nor introduce a new idea into a conclusion. This is you wrapping up your paper and demonstrating a critical concluding thought.

As with any outline, if you have subsections, there must be at least two.

Demonstrate research through documentation in sections II, III, IV, and V.
