Stacey S Blog Prompt

The instructor usually asks students to write a proposal to help them focus and define thier research.  Proposal indicate to the instructor and classmates your direction of your research.  The proposal provides a general idea of what one is purposing to research but it does not have to be the final binding committment.  You can change your mind and alter ideas from your proposal.  The proposal serves as a starting point for discussion with the class or instructor.  A successful proposal convinces the reader of your goal and it is sufficent to convince their readers that this is an important research idea. Ones research paper is only as good as ones proposal.  Basically the proposal states what you plan to accomplish-Why you want to do it and how your are going to do it.  It should also prove that you have a good grasp on the issue.

     The question is why is it good to write a proposal for further essays.  It is helpful to do a proposal for every essay because it helps determine your objectives.  As I said before, it is a good starting point.  It serves as a preface that will explain just why you should be able to do this paper pr project.  It is your statement defining your purpose in doing the essay. 
A person can write in this genre for a number of reasons.  You could present a prosposal for a grant or other economical reasons, government funding or a business proposal.
