  • Discuss Proposal Memo for Project 2
  •  

      • Focus a particular problem within your general topic to consider. Do NOT be too broad; pick a specific issue.
      • Write about 250 words (do NOT write more than 300).
      • Use the memo form we have discussed in class.
      • Include concise background information about the topic under consideration.
      • Include a brief summary of potential solutions that are under examination, explaining succinctly why they are relevant. Do not feel you need to include EVERY potential solution that is being tossed around with regard to the problem.  Be selective. I doubt you will have room for more than three.
      • Include a few possible resources from which you hope to glean information.
      • Include persuasive reasons why the problem or issue is worthy of consideration.
      • Address the memo to someone in charge who can do something about your issue.

  • Group Blog:

    Your group must post a blog about your meeting by classtime Monday. (Keep in mind that multiple meetings require multiple blog entries.) Choose one member to put in charge of posting the group blogs; that person will put the group blog on their individual blog, but preface the title with the group name (for instance, VIDEO GROUP: Meeting 1).  This blog entry should be the template for any future group blogs, to be posted after any group meeting.
    This blog is for your group members to consult once they are home as well as for me to view. Group blog posts should include:
  •  

      • When you met and where
      • Who was there
      • What was the goal of the meeting
      • What topics overall you discussed
      • Any decisions you made
      • What tasks you delegated to whom
      • What your plans are for the next meeting
      • Any other details you think would be helpful in explaining tasks, responsibilities, or the topic in general.
