This proposal will be written as if to “the editor” of the journal (that is, me), stating your research intent. The aim is for you to convince the editor that your ideas are interesting and original, so that your article will be provisionally accepted for publication. For class purposes, as well, this proposal will include a “Works Consulted,” which should include all texts that you think might be useful to your argument (minimum of 10). A shorter “Works Cited” will be included in the final paper.
