Classification / Distinction / Compare + Contrast Essay

Assignment

Remember, the Proposal must include:

1. A statement of purpose (or maybe even a few statements!). What’s the topic? Why do you care? Why are we writing about it? What are you going to prove about this topic, and how do you plan to prove it, exactly?. This doesn’t have to be a  statement, but it should provide both of us with a general concept of what it is we’ll be doing in this paper.

2. At least one source reference and a summary of its content. This reference can be an article you found online, YouTube video, a documentary, movie — any form of media that can help provide more context or material for your essay. NOTE: You do not need to reference this source in your paper directly. This source is meant to help you develop a sense of direction, as well as ensure you’ve taken to time to reflect on what materials, ideas, and opinions are out there concerning your topic.
