Project (group event) proposal...

Description

Define/Describe Project Our project will involve hosting a Writer’s Workshop event at Park before our fall break. Students at this time in the semester often have lots of papers and writing that they have to complete quickly, so this event will benefit all Park students by helping them improve a piece of writing and, as a result, their grades. Purpose and Audience The writer’s workshop will be open to all Park University students. The purpose is to help students get feedback and suggestions for a piece of writing from their peers. Logistics The event will take place on Monday, October 7 at 5:00 pm in the McCoy Meeting House. Tables and chairs will be set up to allow for easy face-to-face interaction. The only thing students will need to bring are the writings they want feedback for. Each student should bring two copies of their piece, whether these are paper copies or digital copies. The students will get into groups of two or three and trade papers. While reading each others’ papers, they can make comments in the margin if they would like. After each student has had a chance to read each others’ papers, they will verbally discuss the feedback they have based on the “how to give feedback” sheet that Kierra created and printed out. Budget and Funding We will not need to request any funding for this event because we will not have any expenses. Marketing/Publicity We will advertise our Writer’s Workshop event using multiple methods. Jacob will be creating a flyer for the event, which will be posted on The Scribe’s Instagram account and distributed around Park’s home campus. We will also be sending out an email to all Park home campus students advertising the event. The email will describe what the event entails, who is welcome to come, and what to bring. We will inform professors in all disciplines of the event and have them share this information with their students. Division of Labor and Communication Plan Alison will create a Google Form for students to RSVP for the event and send out an email blast to all Parkville home campus students. The email will include a description of the event, what to bring, and the link to RSVP. Tiffany will monitor and lead the event. Madeline will create the assessment survey to send to everybody that RSVP’d to the event. Madeline will also reserve the Meetin’ House for the event. Jacob will make a flyer for the event. Kierra will create a handout explaining how to give effective feedback. This handout will be distributed to attendees at the event and discussed before breaking into groups to read each

others’ work. Assessment A survey will be sent out to everyone who RSVP for the event via email after the event takes place. The survey will contain how they heard about the event, whether or not they thought they received good feedback and if they think this event benefited their piece of writing, and finally if they enjoyed attending the event/additional comments on the whole thing....
