At the end of the semester you will create an argument about whether we as a culture should celebrate a holiday of your choosing. This week you’ll start this process by writing a proposal.
What to Do
Consider the holidays that you know. Next, pick a holiday that you’d like to make an argument about. You might consider a holiday that this culture celebrates wrongly or shouldn’t celebrate at all, or you might think of a holiday that this culture doesn’t celebrate but should.
Write a body paragraph of no fewer than three hundred (300) but no more than four hundred (400) words to establish your position about that holiday and convince me that you should develop your argument further. In this proposal, you’re making a shorter version of the argument you’ll be developing over the next few weeks; you’ll be explaining why this culture should or should not celebrate (or should celebrate differently) the holiday you’ve chosen.
This proposal must include quotations from at least two (2) sources to support your position. Remember to use the “quotation sandwich” to embed the quotes into your paragraph; further, please cite your sources with in-text citations and Works Cited entries following the MLA conventions. Considering the time constraints for this assignment, I’d suggest shorter sources, but keep in mind that you have a longer project that you’ll be working on for the next few weeks; you might consider looking at one or two longer sources with that in mind as we continue.
Because it’s a body paragraph, the proposal should follow the Topic Sentence, Evidence, Transitions, Summary (TETS) pattern as closely as possible. This will help you communicate more effectively with your academic audience.
