2 Recommending a Solution . . .
Proposal Recommending a Solution . . . From Reading to Writing In the second half of the 17th century, English writers sought to make sense of their world by observing society and addressing problems that they saw. People today are just as observant and concerned, and they often make suggestions on improving their communities in the form of proposals.

3 Recommending a Solution . . .
Proposal Recommending a Solution . . . A proposal is a document or speech that identifies a problem or need, and offers a plan of action to solve the problem or meet the need. You can write a proposal to address issues affecting your family, school or community.

5 Writing Your Proposal Prewriting
1 Prewriting Begin by choosing a problem to be solved or identifying a need to be filled. You might make a list of ideas for improving your school or community. You could also try brainstorming problems or needs with a group of friends.

6 Planning Your Proposal
1. Think about your proposal. Why is the issue important? How will your proposal meet the need? 2. Consider your audience. Who will evaluate your proposal? What do they care about? What will persuade them to accept your proposal? 3. List the details. What steps are involved? What resources are needed?

7 Planning Your Proposal
4. Evaluate the workability of your proposal. How hard will it be to put your plan into effect? What are some of the arguments against it? 5. Plan your research. What information will help support the proposal? Where can you find information? Can you conduct some of your own research?

8 Writing Your Proposal Drafting

9 Writing a Personality Profile
2 Drafting How to draft your proposal Begin anywhere—with the summary, the problem or need, or the solution. Show both why addressing the problem or need is important and how your proposed solution accomplishes that.

10 Writing a Personality Profile
2 Drafting How to draft your proposal Be sure to support your statement with facts, statistics, or expert opinions. Define any technical terms your audience might not know and think about objections they might have to your plan.

11 Writing Your Proposal Revising

12 Writing Your Proposal Editing and Proofreading
4 TARGET SKILL USING ADVERBS CORRECTLY As you edit your proposal, check to see that you have used adverbs correctly. Do not use an adjective when an adverb is needed.
