Four important steps when composing a proposal include (1) convincing the audience that there is a problem that needs to be solved, (2) explaining what you want your audience to do about the problem, (3) acknowledging opposing viewpoints or steps to solving the problem and (4) justifying the action you are asking your audience to take. What strategies will you use for each step? What will make your content for each of these steps effective? Later in the week, review answers that your classmates have provided and provide feedback on their ideas.
When writing my proposal, I will use facts regarding the progression of organ donations, the number of people currently waiting to receive a transplant, and the number of available organs. I am going to speak about the meaning of organ donation and give information to the audience regarding the nature of this act and the positive effects it entails, not only for those in need but in general. As an advocate, I will briefly address the current issues with organ sales. In addition, I hope to highlight the
organ shortage by utilizing data and information from various sources. Putting solid evidence that backs up my idea will enhance the effectiveness of my paper. I hope to generate an emotional response from my audience. Make a compelling case by sharing stories of families who lost loved ones due to the organ's limited availability or to those who were given a second chance.
