Assignment Overview
What is a research proposal?

A research proposal is written not only to introduce your audience to your research topic, but also to
convince or persuade your audience that your topic is worth exploring, that your research question is worth
considering, and that your claim is supported by credible evidence.

What kind of research proposal will I be writing?

It’s important to acknowledge that there are many kinds of research proposals and that each kind serves a
different purpose.  For example, some research proposals aim to seek “approval” for a research study while
other proposals aim to engage their intended audience in putting forth the relevancy of a research project—
offering details to help the audience gain familiarity with the topic of study and the evolving the claim.  The
latter of the two described proposals is the one you will be crafting:  a research proposal designed to share
your research plan and the route you will take to convey a convincing claim.

Does my research proposal need to be approved before I can move forward onto other research steps?

No.  Your proposal will not face an approval or no approval; rather, the research proposal will be returned to
you with helpful feedback to aid you in developing your researched argument essay.  In many ways, your
research proposal is the �rst light your argument sees and the initial feedback you receive will help you set
your directional course as you move forward. Later missteps can be avoided if your proposal is sound and
well-developed. One might posit that the research proposal is an opportunity for a writer who is embarking
on a research journey to fully process the trajectory of their argument.

Overview

Collect and organize source material

Practice MLA formatting

Synthesize your own ideas with the ideas from sources

Practice presenting information to readers in manageable chunks

Engage in self-re�ection and planning processes

resubmission will be required.  

Length/Sources: You should include the 5 sources that you collected for your annotated bibliography and

Topic

My proposed topic is the importance of mental health for children

during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. I want to

focus on children in elementary school, so between the ages of 5

years and 11 years. I want to look at how being confined within the

home for online school and having to wear masks when back in

school face-to-face have negatively affected their mental health. I

also want to see how schools have responded to making the

mental health of these students a priority and what mental health

experts suggest parents can do to make their children’s mental

health a priority.
