Start project proposal

Example Projects: 
Yesterday you learned about your upcoming academic honesty project. Lets look at some examples. 

Thinking time: 
Meet with your team and make some decisions about your project. Then complete the initial ideas form below. 

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 Friday when your group meets with Mrs. Roberts. (She will make you re-do your proposal until it is complete, accurate, and comprehensive.)
