Proposal Report Project For this project, you are to respond to a Request for Proposals from the Student Environmental Sustainability FundPreview the documentView in a new window (SESF) at Pierce College. This is a fictitious fund, but for our purposes, we will treat it as if it were a real funding possibility. This fund has monies available to students on campus to propose projects to make the campus more environmentally sustainable and reduce its environmental footprint. As someone proposing a project, you will need to perform research in order to identify a potential project on the Pierce College campus, and propose that project to the SESF. Click herePreview the documentView in a new window to access additional information about the SESF application requirements. Purpose of the Project This assignment is designed to help you understand the role of technical writing in both business and interpersonal spheres. Many proposals are written in business environments and frequently propose a given vendor’s goods or services to a potential client. But proposal reports are often written by non-profits, charitable organizations, or other groups to win funding for projects and events they wish to host. Recognizing the specific rhetorical situations inherent in each individual proposal is important. Who is your audience? What are the needs/expectations of your audience? How does your project address a current and relevant need for your audience? How can you effectively persuade your audience to award you the funding you are requesting? You will need to rely on rhetorical appeals and an acute awareness of the rhetorical context of this type of writing. This project will require primary and secondary research in order to be effective. Since you are writing for an organization that is willing to provide funding for a project that could be beneficial to a population separate from the funding organization, you will need to demonstrate, authoritatively, that their money will not only be used to benefit this group but will also be used effectively. Thus, you need to demonstrate, authoritatively, the specific needs of the population you intend to serve (there might be overlapping populations) and the specific ways that your project will address these needs. You will need to identify specific desired outcomes for your proposal and identify how you will measure those outcomes. Requirements This project will have the following components: Letter of Intent (LOI): This is a letter written to the funding organization outlining your proposed project and including basic relevant information (such as the identified problem, your proposed solution, costs, and timelines). The audience for this letter is the SESF and the letter should follow the guidelines of a standard business letter. You should identify the need you’ve identified, a project you would like to propose, the impact (both physical and financial) of your proposed project, and the timeline for completion. For guidelines, see the “Letter of Transmission” discussion on pages 605-607 of TCTC. The Proposal: You will need to include the following materials (consult your textbook for clarification on these items): Front matter: Cover Page Executive Summary Table of Contents Body: The body of the report should follow the format suggestions included in Chapter 20. Introduction (Statement of Purpose, Background) Proposed Solution (Objectives, Assessment, Requirements, Plan of Action/Method/Proposed Schedule, Budget, Contact Information) End Matter: Bibliography/Works Cited/References (use MLA or APA format) Appendixes (Charts, Tables, Spreadsheets, Surveys, Etc.)

Read Chekhov’s short story “The Lottery Ticket” •Read Chekhov’s short story “The Lady with the Small Dog” •Read Leskov’s short story “Lefty” Look carefully at the writing style used by the authors in both stories. Every author tends to have a distinctive style unique to his or her writings. Describe three different aspects of each authors’ styles that you notice, using specific examples from the stories to back up your argument. Are the styles similar in any way? How so? (You might consider looking at such things as sentence structure, use of vocabulary, use of dialogue, the way a story “unfolds”, characterizations, point of view, use of humor, narrative style, or anything that seems special or unusual about the way each author tells the story.)

My term paper is due in April but I need an annotated 3 source/reference APA style and description of the topic & why it was chosen by tomorrow. The sources need to be from journal articles ONLY and from our college library ONLY. Reference data can be taken only from peer reviewed professional journals found on the library databases such as PsychInfo or PsychArticles. They can be accessed at www.bmcc.cuny.edu and click on library, databases & psychology. My Library username & PW to access the journals is michelle.laboy & PW is Cocobearpen8. Should you have any questions please feel free to call anytime. TERM PAPER GUIDELINES PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING POINTS: **IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CREDIT FOR THIS COURSE A TERM PAPER OF REASONABLE QUALITY MUST BE SUBMITTED ON OR BEFORE ITS DUE DATE. NOT SUBMITTING ONE WILL EARN YOU A COURSE FAILURE. **THIS DOCUMENT OUTLINES YOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PROJECT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNDERSTANDING ITS CONTENT AND FOLLOWING ITS DIRECTIONS. ***Each student will be required to submit a term paper of no less than 5 pages and 5 professional sources following the strict guidelines of the APA publication manual pertaining to reference citation/documentation of sources. This data is accessible via the BMCC Library home page. You are required to review this data and to ask any questions stemming from this review. It counts for 40% of your total course grade. Its due date can be found on the last page of the syllabus. Lateness is charged at 20 pts per calendar day (including weekends and holidays). This paper shall be typed utilizing a type face of no larger than 12 pt. It must be submitted using only Arial or Times New Roman fonts The topic of your paper is as follows: **You are to write a comprehensive essay on any topic in the field of Psychology. If the topic is found in the text, it is fine…otherwise ask me. You may use one of two approaches: either you may write a traditional essay or you may apply your findings to a personal situation which will highlight the issues involved. **In either case, this paper shall consist of two sections: a comprehensive review of pertinent professional literature (as outlined below) and an integration of personal (real-life) experiences (such as how this might hypothetically be applied to a career choice of yours or some similar subject.) RESEARCH PAPER GUIDELINES (the “how to’s” of research paper writing; and a rubric by which your work shall be critically evaluated) Your grade is composed of two parts: 1. **Knowledge of APA Citation and Referencing Rules and Styles. **Knowledge of proper formatting rules and APA paper structure **Quality of Research data supplied (70%) 2. The remainder of your grade evaluates your knowledge of more traditional writing skills (such as the use of supporting data, sequencing, grammar/mechanics and the ability to paraphrase data.) (30%) Pertinent supporting information can be found by accessing the following website: https://lib1.bmcc.cuny.edu/help/citing/citingapa.html and its associated links. ** A citation maker can be found here: https://www.calvin.edu/library/knightcite/index.php ** Other APA style guides can be found here: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ and here: https://www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/DocAPA.html Students in Introductory Psychology are required to provide a minimum of 5 professional sources. And no reference source may be utilized more than once. In other words, you while you may use a given reference as many times as you wish, each discrete piece of data counts only once. You may use difference data by the same author as a second source; but a different section of a given article will only count once. Reference data can be taken only from peer reviewed professional journals found on databases such as Psychinfo or Psycharticles. If you have difficulty accessing these databases, contact the reference librarians. THE PSYCHINFO DATABASE CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://lib2.bmcc.cuny.edu/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=psyh THE PSYCHARTICLES DATABASE CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://lib2.bmcc.cuny.edu/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=pdh APA and most other forms of professional research writing requires that every reference cited in your reference list must be mentioned at least once in your paper proper; each piece of data that is referenced in your paper proper must have a corresponding entry in the reference list. There are clearly delineated formats required by this style. As you review the literature, you will notice almost no direct citation of others’ work. Just about everything is paraphrased. This should apply to your work as well. Therefore, direct citation of other authors’ work is prohibited. You are to paraphrase (put into your own words) all referenced material. Should you cite the author’s data (even correctly and legally) in a word-for-word manner, the amount of data you use will be deducted from your paper score. For example, if 10% of your work represents the writing of others, then a 10% deduction will be applied to your grade. And so on. ____________________________________________________________________ The scoring/grading rubric which follows is divided into two sections. Errors pertaining to the first section tend to reflect the work of students who for one reason or the other (or perhaps more) choose to do things “in their own way…” or certainly who do not follow directions. These papers generally receive very low grades. Section I: **If your paper does not meet the minimum standard for length, 20 points will be deducted from your total. This is PER PAGE. This means that if your paper is 3 pages long, then you can expect your MAXIMUM GRADE to be an 70. Note that for a page to be counted as such, more than half of it must contain words that you have typed. **If your reference list contains less than 5 peer reviewed items, 10 points will be deducted for each missing source. Remember, only peer reviewed data is acceptable (as outlined above.) **Papers containing text (body) but NO reference list shall receive a mandatory score of 0 **If you provide a reference list (correctly formatted or not) but fail to cite any of the authors it contains, then your maximum grade shall be a 50. **Plagiarism: **Significant Plagiarism (defined by a total score of 40% or higher as reported by Turnitin.com) will invalidate the entire paper leading to a grade of 0 on the paper. If you receive this grade, then your chances of passing the course are extremely unlikely. Other disciplinary actions may also be enforced. Milder cases of plagiarism shall be handled as described below: ###10-15% = 20 point deduction ###16-25% = 30 point deduction ###26-39% = 45 point deduction Most papers easily pass through the first stage and are then evaluated according to the following rubric: CATEGORY Unacceptable (Below Standards) Adequate (Minimally Meets Standards) Good (Occasionally Exceeds standards) Excellent (consistently exceeds Standards) SCORE Introduction Does not adequately convey topic. Does not describe subtopics to be reviewed. Lacks adequate theses statement. (1 pt) Conveys topic, but not key question(s). Describes subtopics to be reviewed. General theses statement. (2 pts) Conveys topic and key question(s). Clearly delineates subtopics to be reviewed. General thesis statement. (3-4 pts) Strong introduction of topic’s key question(s), terms. Clearly delineates subtopics to be reviewed. Specific thesis statement. (5 pts) 5 points ———– Conclusion Does not summarize evidence with respect to thesis statement.

(2 pts) Strong review of key conclusions. Strong integration with thesis statement. Discusses impact of researched material on topic. (3-4 pts) Strong review of key conclusions. Strong integration with thesis statement. Insightful discussion of impact of the researched material on topic. (5 pts) 5 points ________ Grammar, Mechanics and flow (sequence) of paper Grammatical errors or spelling & punctuation substantially detract from the paper. Cases in this category are generally unreadable. Sequence is choppy with little logical coherence or flow. (0-5 pts) Few grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors exist. However those which occur interfere with reading the paper. Articles are interpreted individually rather than as part of the whole (6-10 pts) Grammatical errors or spelling & punctuation are rare and do not detract from the paper. There is coherence to thinking and organization, but some logical gaps remain (11-15 pts) The paper is free of grammatical errors and spelling & punctuation. Sequencing and coherence help the reader understand the writer’s point. (16-20 pts) 20 points _________ Quality of research data supplied Reference data consists of nothing but websites; or provided data is taken from non-peer reviewed journals exclusively (0-10) Reference data contains both peer reviewed and non peer reviewed data with the latter out numbering the former (11-20) Most data is correct, (peer reviewed); however, one or two references are of dubious quality. (21-30) All reference data is peer reviewed and properly formatted. (31-35) 35 points Knowledge of APA Citation and references. Knowledge of proper formatting rules Reference and citation errors detract significantly from the paper. There are several references that are incorrectly formatted or cited; there are several “widdows” and “orphans”; and in general, data presented can not be found by the average reader. (0-10) Three (3) or more references or citations are missing essential data or incorrectly written. (this applies both to the reference list and the paper itself. (11-20) Two (2) references or citations are missing essential data or incorrectly written. (this applies both to the reference list and the paper itself (21-30) At most one citation error is present Other than that, references and citations are correctly written and present.. (31-35) 35 points About half way through the semester, you will be required to EMAIL me a one (1) page annotated bibliography of your topic/data. We will go over this in class, and a handout shall be presented to you outlining the nature of this intermediary assignment. It shall be used as a tool to provide you with feedback as to your progress. Once your research project has been turned in, there will be no opportunity to rewrite, edit, resubmit or change it in any way. However, you are encouraged to submit as many “COMPLETE rough drafts” to me as you wish prior to the due date and I shall be happy to assist you in any way possible. Please make note of the due date for the project; and be aware that lateness is charged at 20 pts per calendar day (including weekends). If you have any questions about any of the above, consult one of the tutors in the library or ask me before you submit your final project.

Anya Maria is the parent of a 2-year-old in an early childhood program for which you are the executive director. She has just told you that she is 4 months pregnant with her second child. During your initial conversation, you discover that she has not yet seen her doctor, that she is trying to maintain a healthy diet, and that she plans to visit with a doctor soon. She is taking over-the-counter prenatal vitamins and has recently quit smoking and drinking. Her job as a certified nursing assistant is a bit stressful, and she is hoping to cut back on the 12-hour shifts that she is currently working. She confides there are several things she is concerned about when she thinks about the birth of her child. She and her 2-year-old are new to the community and unaware of available health resources. The father of the children recently left the family, and paying for child care and other bills represents a pressing concern. You are concerned that Anya Maria has not connected with other families in the program, and you learn that her extended family lives more than 4 hours away. To prepare: Reflect on this quote: “The fetus is an active being from the start, responding to stimuli but also actively initiating events” (Music, 2011, p. 21). Consider information presented in the Learning Resources about impact of prenatal development on a child’s healthy development and learning, and the importance of supporting healthy contexts for mothers and the developing fetus. Write: An analysis of a scenario that provokes a research-based discussion of the following: • What you believe are the most critical factors related to healthy prenatal development identified within the scenario, including a research-based rationale for why you identified these factors • An explanation of how you would support both the mother in the scenario as well as work with her to help her develop a healthy context for her developing fetus based on program and community resources • Identification of how the information you targeted as critical within the scenario can be meaningfully extended to pregnant mothers beyond the presented scenario • How the information presented within the scenario could be most effectively utilized within the early childhood field as well as other fields that directly support young children and their families
