English 313w: Language of Peace

Northern Arizona Univeristy, Flagstaff AZ, U.S.A.

Purpose: Most projects need a proposal before a supervisor or manager can okay the work. Your job is to do the preliminary work BEFORE spending lots of time and effort on a job unnecessary on the wrong path.

Goal: You are to develop a project that has examples of 4-5 individuals who embody peace in their work, their goals, and their speech. Your goal is to make an argument for peace by showing that indeed peace is possible. You could make coffee-table book, a website, a quicktime movie, newsletter, any item that is meant for an audience outside of this classroom. You will include 2 images (minimum) per individual. Use your white book as an example.

Specifications: Use the template presented here as a basic format for your proposal. If your area requires a specific citation format (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), use that.

Remember that a common proposal includes $ breakdown. How many working hours the project will take, and sometimes you need to break down all the tasks for the team members involved. You do not need to include these details for this proposal.
