You should be starting to think about the Research Paper Proposal. The point of the Research Paper Proposal is to demonstrate that you have put some thought into what you are going to write about for your Research Paper, including what your argument will be and where you will find evidence to support it, and to receive helpful feedback on your plan, before starting into the research and writing.
In the meantime, you should be thinking about what you want to research. One obvious and easy approach, which I would recommend taking, is to build on your Article Critique, choosing a topic that is slightly more general than the journal article you examined.

For example, if you wrote about Ian Mosby’s article on MSG, you could write about food, ethnicity, and racism more generally for your Research Essay. THIS IS WHAT I WROTE ABOUT SO FOOD,ETHNICITY OR RACISM WOULD BE THE PREFERRED TOPICS PLEASE.
As with the Article Critique and the Research Paper, the heart of the Research Paper Proposal is argument and evidence. You have to highlight what your argument is going to be, or what question you’re going to address, and identify what kinds of evidence you will be looking for. It can change between the Proposal and the Research Essay, but the point is that you are trying to be systematic and organized about researching, rather than just looking for any information on the topic.
Students will write a proposal that identifies a conflict that is covered in course materials to research further.
As a general rule the topic of the paper should be an event or a specific conflict (e.g. the toppling of historical statues, fighting in hockey), rather than an abstract or general form of conflict (e.g. racism, masculinity, class, regionalism).

Briefly identify and explain the event or issue, identify the argument you intend to pursue, and identify evidence you expect to find in your sources. Be sure to use the terms ‘argument’ and ‘evidence.’
Include a bibliography of at least three (3) scholarly journal articles on your topic, which you think will give you a good start on your research.
Your argument can change between the Proposal and the Research Essay, but the point is that you are trying to be systematic and organized about researching, rather than just looking for any information on the topic.
The Proposal should be roughly 2 double-spaced pages (about 500 words) in length.
