In this proposal, you will check in with me about your overall plans  for this project.  This draft is not a contract, as you will be able to  change your plans somewhat if you need to.  However, I suggest you take  this assignment seriously; I will be able to collaborate with you much  more effectively if you complete it as thoroughly and thoughtfully as  possible.

FORM:  I will provide you with a template( check uploaded files) for  this assignment.  Remember, you are not locked in to the choices you  make in this template; for example, you can (and should) evolve your  main argument from the initial thesis you write for this draft.  It is  fine to be tentative in your answers, and even to ask questions;  however, as I said in the previous paragraph, the more seriously you  take this assignment, the more you and I will be able to productively  collaborate to set you up for a successful final paper.

EXPECTATIONS: You will be graded on the thoroughness of your answers  to the questions on the template; please note that the spaces between  the questions on the template are not an indication of the length your  answers should be. It will obviously take more space provided to answer  each question thoroughly. You are also expected to write formally and  concisely, and your grammar choices should adhere to the standards of  academic English.
