Juniors ~ Research Proposal

The first step in the research process is to pick a TOPIC. I’ve provided a sheet of several suggestions, which you can amend or use intact, or you can create your own topic.

Your assignment is to write a business letter addressed to me proposing the topic for your research paper. You must include at least the following:

  • A statement that states the purpose for the letter
  • A statement including your general topic
  • Your topic phrased as a question
  • Your initial answer to the question (preliminary thesis)
  • A statement explaining why you chose your topic – try to connect it to your interests in some way
  • Contact information
  • Signature

The letter should be around 250 words typed, formatted like your “DEAR” letters (full block). Use Times New Roman only.
