This section of the reading is over Proposal writing. The authors explain two kinds of Proposals: Practical Proposals, which target a specific audience with whom they hope to persuade on their topic and issue; the other is Policy Proposal, which is more wide aimed and set to persuade lots of people rather than a specific audience, but from the looks of things we won't be using Policy Proposals this semester. Next they describe how to understand proposal writings, which is necessary to writing one of our own. A proposal writing is described as having three main parts: Description of the problem, proposal for a solution, and justification; in that order and used correctly those are what form to make a proposal. Like most skills in writing it is a process and takes equal dedication to each part to work. The description part is self explanatory, while the proposal for a solution is basically the summary of what you think is a good solution and outcome for this problem you are approaching, and the justification is essentially why you think that. Lastly is a chart explaining strategies for overcoming the special challenges of proposal arguments, which is essentially a guide to how to use your proposal writing to further your argument.
(side note: you told me to remind you that we discussed me turning this in late.)
