Hello All,

This week, please continue working in your Grant Proposal Groups. I am available if you want to consult with me or email any questions you have.

Next Monday, I want to meet with each group separately. Please select a time that works for you on the Google Doc provided in today’s Blackboard Announcement. 

I will be emailing each group separately. Please let me know if you need any help with moving forward with your project.

Regards,

Yolande

Hello All,

If you have not yet sent me your group’s topic sentence and abstract, please do so. I will be reaching out to individual groups later in the day.

See you in class!

Hello All,

Thank you for a great class today. 

Please remember to send my your topic sentence and abstract including your problem statement by next Sunday April 19th at 11:59pm, so I can share it with our Grant Proposal Expert, who will be a guest speaker at next Monday’s class.

Also, by next Sunday April 19th, please choose a name for your group, and start free writing and doing research for your Grant Proposal idea.

Video summaries of sections of today’s class are available on Blackboard.

Have a great week, and see you next Monday April 20th at 9:30 am for our Grant Writing Expert!

Hello All,

Tomorrow, Monday April 13th, we will meet in the Virtual Classroom from 9:30am – 10:30am. We will talk more about your grant proposals. You will have time to discuss your topic sentences in breakout rooms with your groups, and we will collect all our ideas in preparation to get advice from our guest speaker on April 20th.

See you in class!

Hello All,

Today is a Wednesday schedule, and you have until next Monday April 13th to work with your assigned Grant Proposal Group on a rough draft of your Abstract/Problem Statement, and schedule for delegation of tasks in a Gantt chart. Please have a look at the Grant Proposal Assignment and let me know if you have any questions.

I will be writing to each group over the next few days, and please make sure to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. 

Here is a link to the last section of Monday’s class for your reference.

Have a great week!

Yolande

Hello All,

Here is a link to the last section of today’s class. 

The first step in creating your Grant Proposal will be to create a group agreement, and share it with me by email today if possible.

Then you will need to start working on your Abstract/Problem Statement. Once you have chosen the problem you want to solve, you’ll need to do some research to show the extent of the problem, and whether anything has been done to fix it. There are a number of readings you may find useful in this section of the class website.

If you can have a rough draft of the Abstract by next Monday April 11th, that would be great.

I will write to each group separately. These are the groups so far:

1. Sebastian, Jeremy, Juan

2. Sebasthian, Sara, Chenell

3. Karielle, Jeniffer, Oyon

4. Daniela, Pedro, Sabrina

5. Ceasar, Pete

6. Victor, Jaydin, Dylan

7. Nathalie, Yosue

8. Susanna, Monte, Lola

9. Herman, Shanjeda, Jenny

10. Laura, Imany

Please reach out to your group members as soon as possible, and create a group agreement, according to the guidelines on page 3 in the slide show.

Hello All,

Here is the link for today’s Zoom meeting, which will run from 9:30 am until 10:30 am. Today we will start talking about your final assignment for this class, which is the Grant Proposal Assignment. This is a group project, so by the end of today, I hope you will all have selected or been assigned to a group, and will create a group agreement.

We will start by writing an aspirational biography and by talking about potential causes in our community that you think need research or improvement. Over the next two weeks you will develop a Gannt chart to delegate work, an abstract and problem statement, and a plan of action. On April 20th, a professional grant writer will join us to advise you on your topic sentences, which lead your abstract.

See you in class!
