Initial Ideas + Project Proposal

Goal: Project planning and beginning your project proposal

Agenda:
Read
Initial ideas
Start project proposal


SOCRATIC MAKEUP is TODAY during Advisory. I gave you a green reminder pass if you need to be here, so please don't forget. 

Initial Ideas: 

  • Before you go too far with your academic honesty project, I'd like to know what you think you are planning to do. 
  • You may work alone or with a team of up to two other people. 
  • The other people can be in another period of my class, but that means you'll need to spend more time meeting with them outside of class. That will make the project more challenging, but it is up to you. 
  • Together you will complete the INITIAL IDEAS FORM today. 

Project Proposal:

  • Once you/your team, have your project elements in mind it is time for you to start working on your project proposal. 
  • When you write a proposal you are trying to convince others (and yourself) that your project is worth doing. 
  • A proposal helps you think through all of the parts of the project. If you are working as a team, the proposal becomes a document that shows what you agreed to do.

1. Get your copy of the PROJECT PROPOSAL TEMPLATE, be sure to click "use template."
2. Follow the directions on the top of the document to share it with the necessary individuals.
3. Complete the proposal by responding to the questions listed.
4. Your finished proposal will be reviewed/graded during class on Monday or Tuesday of next week when your group meets with Ms. Daniel. 

(There will not be regrades. Be sure your proposal is complete on time.)

Reminders: 
Today: Initial Ideas form due

This Friday: Project Proposal Template Due 
Monday, May 6th: Final Projects due + class presentations begin
