Proposal

The What

I propose to construct a website about issues that are happening in the world that we are concerned about. For Each issue we will have a site and form for us to comment on how we can make a difference. Since we do not have many resources to make a difference in many more important issues it is ideal to come up with one issue that we can all have an impact on. After each issue has a site it is then as a class we chose one of them and see how we can stop it.

The How

There are many ways to look at how to do this proposal. However, each step an action must be thought critically and always looking at this benefits and consequences of each action. First and most important is to show that we are involved. So one of the many first steps would be what type and how many websites should you have. Since we are trying to look very professional we may need to construct our own website instead of posting our information on my space or some other website host. We can also post information on wikipedia as an extra. After the website is fully constructed the next step is getting as much people as possible involved. Weather the means are making posters, handing handouts or even having to do a presentation, the main goal is to get as many people involved for support. Now since as a group of student we have a certain limit of power and time the final step would be to send professional letters to the people that have the power to make a change.

Example: Gravel Parking

One of the growing issue that’s arising at Lynn University is getting the gravel parking lots paved. The first step would be making a website to attract the attention of people and the school board. The next would be getting support of other students, which in this case would be easy. Finally would be sending a well written letter to the Board on the issue.

Why

Many must be thinking about how English comes into all this. English throughout the process is taking place. Since we have basically broken the process of this proposal into three parts English is a key factor within all three parts. The first part of constructing the website is very much depending on our English class as a group. We must have an attractive website and furthermore a well written website with phrases that we attract the attention of the audience and we must be sure that after looking at that website they will be involved. The second part is grabbing the attention of the students. This has to be done in a precise way, in a way that the students will become eager to be involved. English affects this part because with in that 81/2 by 11 inches piece of paper must be a well written phrase that everyone that see’s it will remember it. The last part is obviously the most important part. The letter as stated before must be a well written and professional letter. This letter will be sent to the board and later will be read by the entire board which means it has to go beyond the point of just a simple letter that has no spelling or grammar mistakes. This letter must grab the attention of the board and make them make a change. If that first letter does not grab there attention there is no point in sending any more. So English in this process is a very important aspect that has a huge affect and will make a change.
