power point for my speech, The thought of writing a proposal overwhelms many people, but the task does not have to be
daunting. Proposals are written when people need to ask permission to make a purchase, do a
project, or change a policy; the proposal is a formal way of putting forth an idea and asking for
action to be taken on that idea. When writing a proposal, consider who will read the proposal and
what that person may or may not already know about what you are proposing.
Follow these steps when writing a proposal:
1. State your purpose. Do this clearly and concisely so that the reader knows immediately
why you are writing.
2. Give some background information about why you are proposing your suggestion so that
the reader has a better understanding of the problem.
3. State a solution to the problem; this is where you give specifics about your suggestion.
4. Continue with any costs that will be involved.
5. Conclude by restating the problem and proposed solution.
Compose a 10 minute oral proposal to change the existing policy on the drinking age in the
United States. Should there be one? Should it lower than 21? Should it be higher? Should beer
and wine separate from hard liquor? ( was going to assert to keep it the same, if you believe it shouldn’t and have valid sources thats fine) must cite sources, recording myself while speaking for PP for online class so it doesnt have to be fancy just content.
