Your final essay should be 1000 words long and should follow the guidelines in The Curious Writer for writing a proposal in the “Inquiry Project: Writing a Proposal,” on page 193. Craft a proposal that has an effective introduction, a body that is rich with details and reasons, and a satisfying conclusion; your essay should make a convincing and balanced case based on well-supported, relevant reasons and evidence to justify the solution you are proposing over other possible solutions.
