Now that you’ve written the Cause/Effect Essay, you’re ready to write a Proposal

Now that you’ve written the Cause/Effect Essay, you’re ready to write a Proposal or Problem/Solution Essay. You must use the same topic you used in your causal essay.
This is your chance to explain the problem and provide a solution in one place. You will begin with the causes or effects of your previous essay. A thesis statement might look like this: “Because A causes B, we should…” OR “The effects of A are B, so we should…” (Note that “we” needs to refer to a specific entity: the state government, the federal government, parents, students, and so on.)
The remainder of the thesis statement tells your reader how to solve the problem. An example would be “Because the declining infrastructure of Houston highways causes many deaths, the state government should improve roads, invest in rapid transit, and lower the speed limit.”
The structure or format of such an essay would be
An Introduction that states your thesis and gives some context for the problem (the number of deaths on Houston highways per year, for example)A counterargument that explains what the alternative(s) might beA first body paragraph to explain how improving roads would help solve the problem of many deathsA second body paragraph to persuade readers that investing in rapid transit decreases traffic and therefore decreases deathsA third body paragraph to suggest that lowering the speed limit would decrease deathsAnd a conclusion that explains how the solution benefits society.
This is your chance to provide feasible (which means doable), relevant, practical solutions to the problem you recognized in your C/E essay.
**Please remember that each body paragraph starts with a topic sentence (your words explaining to the reader what he will find in this paragraph); then supply your evidence (a summary or quotation from one of your sources); then remember to comment on or interpret the evidence (this is your explanation of what the source material means).
You are to use at least three sources from the library databases (do not use Google or Wikipedia) in your essay. Then you will need a Works Cited page at the end of the essay which lists, alphabetically, all your sources. Make sure you include in-text citations for every source you use. (In-text citations are either an author’s name or the article title if you don’t have an author.)
Remember to format according to MLA style guide. Use Purdue Owl if you’re not sure about MLA style.
This essay should be 1000-1200 words. Make sure you fulfill this requirement! The deadline is firm. I will not accept late submissions.
