Your proposal should make your case using“Whereas”statements supporting the case foryour proclamation, each with a paragraph break following it. For example, if you are suggesting a proclamation in support of a cause, you should list facts and statistics that support the urgency of publicizing that cause. After several “Whereas”statements, comes a “Therefore”statement; this is where you suggest the hoped-for result of your proposal, for example,“Therefore, May 13th should be heart health day in Metropolis.”  \nTitle: Start with a basic title, which explains the proclamation.  \nWrite Reasoning Statements: Identify the reasons behind your proclamation. Keep it straightforward and simple. Start each statement with “Whereas,” followed by the reason.  \nWrite The Proclamation Statement: Explain what you are proclaiming, based on the above-listed reasons. Start the sentence with “Now, therefore” and be sure to include the author’s name (your names), position (10th grade student), organization (name of high school), location (city and state), and the date. This statement should be written in the first person.  \nAdd A Personal Invitation: Underneath proclamation statement, personally invite readers to support and participate in your proclamation.  \nSign And Date The Document: If your organization has an official seal, include it as well. Extra credit if you design a seal.  \nSample Proclamation:  \nTitle  \nAnytown, USA Chamber of Commerce Week Proclamation Reason 1  \nWHEREAS, local business is integral to the growth and longevity of a community, and Reason 2  \nWHEREAS, the strength of local business is dependent on the support of the community, and Reason 3  \nHow to Write a Proclamation (Continued)  \nWHEREAS, the Anytown Chamber of Commerce is partners with both the community and local businesses ofAnytown, and  \nReason 4  \nWHEREAS, the Anytown Chamber of Commerce tirelessly promotes and supports Anytown; Proclamation Statement  \nNOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, [John Doe, Mayor of Anytown], do hereby proclaim September 12-16, 2016, Chamber of Commerce Week throughout Anytown, USA.  \nPersonal Invitation  \nI encourage all businesses and community members to take advantage of the resources available from the Anytown Chamber and to celebrate the Anytown Chamber for their contributions.  \nOfficial Signature and Seal  \nIN WITNESS, WHEREOF I hereunto set my hand and cause the Seal ofAnytown to be herein affixed.","cbCainf6EpAfRqqN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainf6EpAfRqqN","pdf",60479,"English","# How to Write a Proclamation\n## Core structure and sentence starters\n## Title, reasoning, and proclamation statement\n## Personal invitation, signature, and seal\n## Sample proclamation","[{\"question\":\"How long should a proclamation be and how should it be organized?\",\"answer\":\"A proclamation is generally one page long.
