Milestone 4

CHOose A SIDE

about this milestone:

In this milestone, we will create an outline for your research proposal. Much like a map, an outline not only helps you figure out the final destination of your essay but also what route you are going to take to get there. Think of this as a initial "pitch" for the position you are going to take in your final argumentative essay. After reading your outline, your audience should not only have a clear understanding of why you identify with your chosen group, but they should also be able to see and feel your interest in your choice.
