First, make sure that you closely re-read the prompt for Unit 3:
Second, review this handout that we went over in class:
Third, explore these examples for some inspiration. Note that these examples are not exhaustive!

Finally, write a proposal of at least 200 words outlining what you plan to do for Unit 3. This proposal should cover the following:
- A 1-2 sentence statement of how you want to influence your audience. Do you want to teach them something specific? Do you want to change the way they think about a specific issue or topic? Do you want to motivate them to do something? Be as specific as possible, and think about WHY you want to do this.
- The audience you are trying to reach. Again, be as specific as possible.
- The genres that seem to you most well-suited for your purpose. Make sure you EXPLAIN why you find these genres especially appropriate.
- A plan–-How do you intend to get started? What will be your FIRST STEP?
- Anything you might be worried about. What are your concerns about finishing this project?
