Paper #3 essay assignment… for 102 and for 1A...

Hey there, here is the new essay assignment for paper #3.

The Sustainability Center

For this 3rd essay assignment, you have a Design Challenge. The broad challenge is that you are being asked to design the Chabot Sustainability Center.

We are organizing this design effort around 3 major questions. (For sure you can raise other questions and areas of discussion, in addition to these 3 questions.)

1.    How would you design it?

2.    How do you imagine the Center being used?

3.    How would you imagine the Sustainability Center interacting with the Knowledge Garden and the nature around the Center?

You should write this essay as if it is a proposal. Your audience for the proposal is Chabot administration.  Actual business proposals have a number of different features. You should do some research and see what these features are. You should include some of these business proposal features in this proposal, in addition to answering the questions.

·      You should devote some time to talking about the environmental problems that students face that the Sustainability Center will help address.

·      Really nail why it is that the Sustainability Center is crucial for students and teachers.

·      You should for sure do Rule of 3 (or 4 or 5 , lol)  in answering the questions.

·      You should integrate how other disciplines fit into the Center, so that it is not just a place where Environmental Studies students go.

·      You should include pictures, and building design layouts.

Even though you might not use quotes in a real proposal, for this essay you will be using quotes in your body paragraphs. (They actually will probably help the persuasiveness of the proposal.) You will want to incorporate Design concepts into the proposal. We will be talking about Design principals….

Make the project be WOW!

In other words, surprise yourself. Surprise your audience. NO idea is too weird. Your goal is to make this the coolest building on campus, truly world class.

The Page minimum is 7 pages writing. (The pics, etc. are in addition to the 7 pages of writing.)
