Purpose—-
In the first phase of this course, you summarized and critiqued an article. In the second phase of this course, you observed and profiled a specific food dish or product. Now, your task is to craft a formal proposal for a specific physical space. You should first identify a specific space, then observe, analyze, and evaluate it. Identify problems and questions for research. Then, you should propose a specific idea for the space that either solves a problem you’ve identified or perhaps would improve sociability, accessibility, inclusivity, equity, or commerce.
Your proposal should take the form of a formal report.
accurate, well-researched information: your observations
synthesis of ideas: your primary observations, proposals, and ideas from secondary sources
various writing strategies: report, cause and effect, argument, proposal, profile, reflection, process analysis, etc.
clear definition of key terms
appropriate design: images, tables, diagrams
a well-defined problem based on your firsthand observation (note this doesn’t have to be something “wrong” per-say but also how something can be improved)
a recommended solution and convincing argument for solution/recommendation or call to action
response to anticipated questions (consider counterarguments and questions about practicality and feasibility of solutions/recommendations)
an appropriate tone: formal, reasonable, academic
Context and Purpose for Writing—-
You must first determine your topic and purpose. Then, you need to identify parallels (related ideas) between your firsthand observations and the research from your sources. As you outline, you should develop a plan for how to develop and present your proposal. You should use subheadings to use to organize your document as in formal reports (see textbook).
Topic—-

Identify what database you used (if any) to find the source in your works cited entry.
Effectively Integrating Scholarly Sources: What was researched? What discipline was the article written for (psychology, sociology, law, etc.)? Explain how the research is relevant to your discussion and other sources. Try to identify a specific theory or conclusion from the scholarly article to focus on. (Hint: You can find scholarly sources hyperlinked or sourced in published articles).
