#4 assignment for English 1A: Group Propsal for Project to be built for the Chabot Knowledge Garden

Hey there, 

You will be working together in small groups of 3 or 4 to come up with a proposal for something that will be created and built to be placed in the Knowledge Garden. You have a $200 budget, but you are encouraged as much as possible to use repurposed/reused/recycled materials. 

The proposal is due Monday, August 11 via email. Early in the Fall semester, the students in the Passion and Purpose classes will read through all the proposals and pick the 5 that they like the best. These 5 will then be built. You will want to treat this proposal as if you are actually a business trying to win the proposal. 

Each member of the team is responsible for writing up a part of the project. You should divide up the work and writing equally. You will likely need to do some research and investigating in order to fill out the details of your proposal.
