Proposals are examples of persuasive documents. In "real life" they are presented to some type of decision-making group that has the power to give approval to the request that is being made - often a request for funding but certainly a request for actions that will result in change. Your proposal should clearly indicate who the intended audience is for your report: what group or organization would be receiving the proposal and acting on your request for the implementation of a change.

 

The most important thing to remember is that your proposal has to be based on a need for change or a problem that needs to be solved. Start with that rather than with a solution. Focus on a real local problem, and understand the problem before formulating a solution. 

 

Please select a topic that has a LOCAL FOCUS, such as a change that needs to happen at CVTC, a local school, or in your community.  Please identify three things: what the need for change is, what your planned solution is, and who the audience is (the decision making body - the group that can approve the change you are suggesting. The audience in this situation is different from just the audience who will be reading your report). 

 

What is something in your community that could be changed to improve life for local residents? Try to identify a local group or organization that would be able to approve the proposed change.
