Proposal Guidelines for Scholarly Research Paper

- Format Your Proposal according to MLA Guidelines
- Identify your topic of interest -- be specific and precise. If you are using the same topic as the last paper, tell me what you are doing differently in this paper -- how is your question/research different?
- What question are you asking about this issue/problem/phenomenon/object?
- For what purpose? Why are you asking this question? 
- What is your tentative thesis statement? This can and will likely change, develop though more research.
- What sort of evidence will make your paper strong?
- Identify three scholarly sources you might use for your paper. Write a sentence or two about each: what do they claim and how do they make their claims? 
- Create a separate works cited page in MLA format for these sources.

Due by Friday, November 18
