For this
assignment, provide an outline with your goals, intentions, and approach for
your Final Project.
Identify the
role of the Community Organization for your project.
The
organization I am using for this assignment is The Boys
and Girls Club.
Please feel free to use any type of outline you would like, but
keep in mind, you will need to cover the information below with consistency,
continuity, and originality. Because this is an outline, you will have the
opportunity to make changes to this as you progress through the project, but
the more you can “nail down” here, the more you will be able to stay focused
moving forward.
Note: If you use any resources in your outline, cite the
publication(s), any direct quotations, and any summarized or paraphrased
material. Use APA citation format for both your in-text and references page
citations.
Keep in mind, any sources you choose should be no more than five
(5) years old. This is part of the requirements for your Final Project.
·
Title Your Project: Be concise; be catchy. Use your title to both draw your
readers/audience in and to demonstrate what the project is about. Try to keep
your titles within five or fewer words.
·
Introduction: Describe the organization, the work they do, any key players
within the organization, and why it may be interesting to your
readers/audience. Include your thesis statement (a short description of the
purpose of your work).
·
Readers/Audience: Describe the readers/audience you will be directing your
project toward. Consider what they know, what they might need from your work,
and what they will expect. Briefly discuss how you will meet the needs of your
readers/audience.
·
Methods: Include a description of how you plan to gather and analyze
your data (i.e. reviewing websites, reviewing related articles, interviews,
analyzing similar organizations, and so on).
·
Results: You likely haven’t found any results yet, but provide a
description of what you hope to find or what you think you might find.
·
Conclusion: Based on the information you have gathered so far, start
identifying how what you’ve learned connects to your thesis and how it falls
under the scope of service-learning and civic engagement. Write up a brief
description of those connections.
·
References Page: Include an APA style citation list of any sources you have
used or are considering using in your project (this should appear on its own
page at the end of your outline).
