South Hayward Project

South Hayward Project

PLEASE NOTE: THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS BEED REVISED--DUE DATE, PR0JECT EXPECATIONS, PAGE MINIMUM...

For this 3rd essay assignment, you have a Project Challenge. The broad challenge is that you are being asked to create something that addresses an issue or issues in South Hayward. It can be an event, or a structure, or an art piece, or a relationship, or a collaboration, or ....??

You should write this essay as if it is a proposal. Your audience for the proposal is primarily residents of South Hayward.  The City of Hayward is also an audience. Actual business/design proposals may have a number of different features: cover page, cover letter, Table of Contents, budget page, etc. You may want to include these in your proposal. 

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.)

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 proposal possible.

You have a $3,000 budget, but you are encouraged as much as possible to use repurposed/reused/recycled materials. 

Each proposal question below should be answered in detail. Please don’t just give a one word or one sentence answer.      You should devote some time to talking about issue that citizens face that your proposal will help address. You should include picture and design layouts. When possible, you should for sure do Rule of 3  in answering the questions. 

1. Please describe in detail, what exactly is your project?
2. What need is being filled, or what problem is being addressed by your project?
3. Who is the audience for your project?
4. How can the City support your project?
5. What materials will you need to do create your project? Be specific about type of materials and quantity of each.
6. You need to have access to at least 2 community members who you will consult about this  project You will integrate them in two ways to this project: 1.) getting their opinions and ideas about this project, and 2.) seeing if they have an interest in taking part in the project. You will be integrating their opinions/quotes throughout the paper. (This is crucial.) If they don't have interest in taking part in the project that is ok, but at the very least you need to be integrating their POV into your proposal
7. What steps will it take to complete your project? Please be very specific here about this. 
8. What is your budget for your project? (Please be specific and detailed about what will need to be purchased, including small stuff like nails, etc.)

10. Anything else you would like to add or say about your project?

The Page minimum is 10  pages.
