Proposal for Social Change Assignment (See Calendar for Draft Due Dates)
Writing for Social Change is based on the longstanding tradition in Western culture of using
literature as a tool for social critique, as a means of calling for social change and justice, and as a
tool for social transformation (hecua.org). We have already read examples of calls for large
scale change (The Declaration of Independence).
The goal of this research-based persuasive proposal is to help you identify one specific, concrete
area of personal interest (and narrow a topic), develop your skills as a writer and encourage you
to share your voice and participate in a democratic society by examining the role of literature and
literary production in creating social transformation.
Objective: Write a 4-5 page proposal for social change using MLA documentation.
