Paper presentation

You need to complete a proposal paper and presentation that offers a solution to your topic/issue on a local level. You are going to show the following in your paper and presentation: A specific way to solve your topic/issue on a local level and initiate change – You have been studying your topic/issue all semester from a global perspective to how it affects our own city and state. Now is the time to propose change and persuade your audience to action. You need to argue for a specific recommendation that you believe will make a change in dealing with this topic/issue in our local community. Explain what you propose should be done about this topic/issue in our city and offer realistic recommendations. Logical reasoning and evidence that defends your recommendations – A proposal is still an argument where you need to prove that this solution can work. Your reasoning and evidence should focus on feasibility (it can be achieved with available resources) and implementation (how it should be completed). Again, you are not just stating why your solution should happen; you are explaining what is needed and how it can happen. Consider looking at what other cities and states have done to handle similar problems. You target your audience and craft the proposal using a formal to middle style- Proposals are generally targeted to a specific group of people who can help initiate change on the matter. You need to be able to identify who those people are and craft your proposal with them in mind. The writing should be formal, clear and concise. It should be your best written piece of the semester, virtually free of errors with an authoritative and confident tone. You know how to visually present your proposal to the target audience through a five-slide presentation – Most proposals are accompanied by a presentation of some sort. You need to create five-slides using either PowerPoint, Prezi or _____. You need to show that you can take the written word and present it visually to highlight major points, emphasize your overall purpose and display images, graphs, tables or infographics that help support the argument in your proposal. You understand how to properly create a full citation and in-text citation using MLA guidelines. *To complete the assignment: Write a four-page proposal paper (not including your Works Cited page) that focuses on offering a solution to your topic/issue on a local level Use MLA citation Incorporate and properly cite a minimum of 5 sources – 2 of them MUST be new sources (not used in any of the previous writing assignments) My topic is substance abuse among the elderly in Charlotte NCPa
