For this discussion, you will submit a Research Paper Proposal. The purpose of writing a paper proposal is to give your professor (and peers) an opportunity to provide feedback on your topic, argument, and research goals. Perhaps most importantly, a paper proposal requires you to narrow your topic and begin formulating the argument you’ll make.

Be Sure to include and identify your main thesis statement

Your research paper proposal is a single page the lets the reader know what you hope to argue in your paper. The most important item in the proposal should be your current thesis statement (it might change as you write) and how you hope to engage in arguing this. Your consideration of this thesis is best placed in the first paragraph of the proposal.

For the second paragraph, it is a good practice to write about how you intend on researching your proofs. Remember that a thesis statement is an argument that will need an expert opinion to help you prove. Before writing the proposal you should have engaged in some research on your topic and thesis and have a good idea where you will find the sources (at least 3) you need for the paper. TIP: “I plan on looking on the internet” is a bad answer. “Harold Bloom’s consideration of the motivations that drive the plot of Hamlet will be utilized in this exploration” is a good answer.

The final paragraph in the proposal is used, to sum up, what you hope to accomplish by writing this paper.
