-great use of multiple activities for each goal
-outline shows all key components in a detailed manner

given to fully understand the concept.

when scrambling from quote to quote

-shouldn't wait until the end to evaluate need to have some type of evaluation
throughout

Essay:
I would choose to fund the Presentation Proposal and the Walkers Proposal. The
Presentation Proposal, or P.R.O.M.O.T.E, included all of the key parts needed for a great
proposal. The idea of having high school students learn about technology and learn how to
promote themselves is wonderful. There are a lot of job opportunities out there and lots of
individuals trying to take them. Knowing how to promote yourself and what you can do will help
these students have a step up on their competition. The proposal showed a great need for this
type of help for high school students. It was also well thought out and if I was funding the project
I would know exactly where the money was going. The budget was extremely detailed and
thought out.
The Walkers Proposal was also a great project. The need is not only at the Filer
Elementary School but all over the United States. The statistics they used were spot on and eye
opening. Their ideas to get students to learn the basics of being healthy will help parents
understand the importance of being healthy as well. I would fund this in hopes that other schools
would see how wonderful this is and would follow suit. The evaluation process was nicely
written. It will help them show the progress throughout the whole year and will give feedback on
what they might need to change or what it working well.
