 *Proposal -- The following are guidelines for organizing your proposal:

1. Introduction:  Explain the issue.  Refer to the texts that we read to provide some background information to the issue. Conclude your introductory paragraph with a statement of your proposal concerning encouraging healthier eating at our school.
2.Describe the issue more specifically.  Include an explanation of causes that contribute most significantly to the problem.  How does it potentially affect students at our school?  What data confirms the importance of the problem?
3.  Propose the best solution to the problem (your proposal).  What different solutions have others proposed?  Why do you think your solution is the most practical and the best? 

(REFER to Activity #18)
