In the end, the thing to remember about a proposal argument is that you are focusing on 1 SPECIFIC ISSUE and will propose a solution to help eliminate—or at least reduce—the current issue.
See the sample thesis and outline structure below to provide ideas as to what will be expected when you submit your E1 Proposal Argument OUTLINE for my review. [I expect you to come up with YOUR OWN thesis and essay map. Do not plagiarize mine.]
The thesis for a proposal argument writing must convey the steps being argued to fix an issue.
Example THESIS: To address the opioid crisis [key point] that is sweeping the nation [key point], Americans [key point focused on who must make the changes] must respond by controlling the distribution of Opioids through prescription limits [1st sub-point to argue in the proposal], expanding access to rehabilitation programs [2nd sub-point to argue in the proposal], and making Naloxone more accessible [3rd sub-point to argue in the proposal].
The essay paragraphs would then follow the essay mapping to argue the sub-points in the proposal argument:
Introduction paragraph: HOOK sentence, background, Thesis (3-7 sentences)
Body paragraph 1: controlling the distribution of Opioids through prescription limits (modify existing requirements)
Body-paragraph 2: expanding access to rehabilitation programs (community programs, church programs, hospital programs)
Body-paragraph 3: making Naloxone more accessible (in clinics, in hospitals, to patients prescribed opioids, in shelters, at fire and rescue locations)
Body-paragraph Counter-argument: opposition to your proposal and/or alternative views on what should be done to alleviate the opioid crisis (and then argue why these counter-arguments aren’t as logical and productive as your proposal argument)
Conclusion paragraph: Thesis revisited, summarize topic sentence/closing sentences from body paragraphs, exit sentence to leave the reader focused on making changes you proposed to alleviate the opioid crisis (3-10 sentences)
