Write a proposal. The following are things you may need to address. However, you are not limited to these. There may be other things that come up, either in your study or by me as devil's advocate.
I. Introduction
II. Identify a problem or issue here at school.
A. What is the problem?
B. Why does this need to be addressed?
C. Have similar things happened elsewhere?
D. How did those similar issues get solved?
III. Lay out a plan to solve that problem.
A. What is the plan? Give details.
B. How did you come up with this plan?
C. Who will implement the plan?
D. How will it be done?
E. What are the costs, and how will it be financed?
F. How long will it take?
G. What are any foreseeable kinks in the plan?
H. How will those be worked out?
I. Who will need to OK the plan?
J. How will you get the necessary permissions?
K. Can it actually be done?
L. Is there anything else to consider?
IV. Justify the plan.
A. How does this plan solve the problem?
B. Are there any other possible solutions?
C. Why is this plan the best choice?
D. Is it worth the time, money, and trouble?
V. Conclusion
YOU CHOOSE THE ISSUE THAT YOU WANT TO ADDRESS.
This is similar to the Gripe Speech, except it is more detailed and more professional.
You may work by yourself or with one or two partner(s). If you choose to work with a partner, you will share whatever grade you make.
Be thorough. Do not give a one-sentence answer to the questions above. Substance is more important than style, although having both is better. Make sure you or someone else proofreads your final proposal; it should be neat, complete, and accurate.
There are a number of forms you may use to do the proposal. Choose one that makes your plan clear. For example, you may use a list form or an essay form, and you may use the questions above in the proposal or just make sure they are addressed. YOU CHOOSE THE METHOD OF ORGANIZATION.
If they help, you may include pictures, charts, graphics, etc.
The first thing you must turn in is a timeline. This will be your guide, created by you, when you intend to turn everything in. Be realistic. It is due at the beginning of class tomorrow. A daily grade will be given for this. YOU CHOOSE WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS TURNED IN, INCLUDING THE PRESENTATION.
The issue you choose will be turned in to the "Issue" folder in Google Classroom. A daily grade will be given for this.
A rough draft of the plan will be turned in to the "Rough Draft" folder in Google Classroom. A daily grade will be given for this.
The completed proposal will be turned in to the "Completed Proposal" in Google Classroom. This will be in final draft form. A test grade will be given for the content, and a daily grade will be given for the proper English usage.
You will present your proposals in class. A test grade will be given for this. YOU CHOOSE THE METHOD OF DELIVERY.
An additional two daily grades will be given for participation and work ethic in the classroom.
This should be done on your Chromebooks. Each part due should be put into the proper folder in Google Classroom. Make sure each team member's name is on the document.
