~UPDATES~
               Currently, we are working on finishing the Skate Park Proposal by planning an outline of what job each person had to do. Also, some of the group members are going to try to get the tennis courts location for the skate park on September 10, 2014. They will present the proposal to the board and explain what we are trying to accomplish. If we get the location it'll really help us have everything planned out and then when we have a Grant or enough money, we can start building the skate park.
                 Another project, we are working on is the Student Store Proposal. We have written the cover letter, summary, introduction, and budget. We still need a couple more pages to have the proposal finished. The purpose of the student store is to benefit the students and also the school. The student store will be open afterschool, so it is convenient for the students who are hungry or thirsty afterschool. The group members of the My Life Project will be the ones who will be in charge of the student store.



~ENGLISH STANDARDS~

(W) 5. Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a
           new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and
           audience.

             As a group, we have had to do a lot of research on how to create a student store on campus. We had to find the proper location and think about how much the merchandise would cost. We were assigned to start a group project proposal, and then present it. In order for us to know how to write a proposal we had to look up outlines and examples on the internet. Before the presentation, we had to write a cover letter, summary, introduction, and budget. We basically summarized or talked about each topic briefly. Then afterwards we got great feedback and ideas from the teachers, to improve our proposal and project. In order, for our project to be successful we have to critically think about what strategies and plans to use.
