Project Assignment #2: Team Project Proposal
Type of Assignment: Group (G)
Percentage of Grade: 10%
Assignment Description
For Assignment #2, your project team will write a proposal to your sponsor describing the Service Learning Project that your team proposes. Assignment #2 builds off of Assignment #1 in that your project team proposal will be an expanded, edited version of what your project team feels is the best individual memo proposal.
Important!
Remember to review the document entitled “Service Learning Project Description.” Be careful to select a service learning project that is appropriate for a four-member team and one that can be completed by the end of the semester.
Lesson 5 contains a sample Service Learning Proposal for your reference. Your proposal will be submitted to both your sponsor and your instructor. You may find the following checklist useful when you revise and edit your proposal.
