    As you review and revise your proposal, keep the following in mind:

    • Use the right format. Check with your instructor to insure you are using the format requested and look at any samples provided.
    • Write a clear summary of (or introduction to) your proposal topic.
    • Identify exactly what you are proposing to do.
    • Ensure that a report—a written document—is somehow involved in the project you are proposing to do if that is what your instructor has assigned.
    • Ensure that the sections of your proposal are in a logical, natural order and that you use sub-headers and bullets (and any other formatting styles) correctly.
    • Address the proposal to your named audience—not your instructor.
