MSE Initial Proposal: Arguing a Position Style I

Proposals play an important role in shaping ideas into a workable written argument. They help you look closely at your
claim and determine why you feel as you do. They also help with audience awareness as you recognize, acknowledge, and
develop opposing views as well as your response to them. Finally, they help you effectively organize your essay.
Important Note: Think about where in your essay the CA should be placed and adjust this proposal accordingly.
