Assignment - Memo Request to Pursue Research

Initial Assignment Memo Draft

 Your writing Assignment in this unit is a memo addressed to your professor requesting permission to move forward with your researched proposal topic idea. Use this Discussion forum to practice presenting your idea by writing a paragraph of 200–300 words persuading your decision-maker (your professor) that your idea is a good one, and justify your request with research. Cite at least two sources (remember your APA in-text citation and accompanying references from Unit 2 Discussion) you will be incorporating into your researched proposal to show your audience (your professor) research is available to support your topic.

 

Typically before a writer would expend energy on a researched proposal, he or she would ask for permission from a decision-maker to start their project. You practiced writing a short persuasive memo in Units 1, 2, and Unit 3 Discussion. Now use what you learned in terms of persuasive writing in this Assignment. You will write a memo to your professor requesting permission to move forward with your topic for the researched proposal, and provide evidence to support the viability of your topic. Access the Assignment and rubric below.
