Research proposals contain literature reviews and offer convincing support of need for the research study being proposed. You’ve already put together an annotated bibliography, so you’re well on your way to writing this proposal with that important step already completed. Your proposal should be 1-2 pages (double spaced, and this is in addition to your “Works Consulted” page), written in MLA or APA formatting. While I am not looking for an outline, or for any conclusions, your proposal is essentially a road map for your paper. It should explain, in scholarly detail: What your topic is about. Why you chose your topic (ex. what do you want to learn and/or why is it important for you to learn more about this?) Which primary sources (TV shows, films, ads, etc.) you will write about, and why. What sort of existing research will help you with your paper? What you will be adding to the scholarly discussion–in other words, what are you exploring/saying that prior scholars have not yet said? You may simply be looking at something more recent than the articles you have read, or you may want to argue with their ideas and findings. here are the two last assigments of the class with the topic
