Part I: Planning the Writing Project

Agreement and Proposal

I met with Tim O'Malley and discussed and agreed up on an agreement for my time with The YouVote agency. We figured out exactly what my Service-Learning Writing Project would consit of. In this agreement you can find out more about Tim and I. And more proposal information.

Audience Assessment

Choosing the audience is very important becuause it affects the audience's perception of my work. When writing for our Service-Learning Project, tone and point of view should be chosen appropriatly. Tim O'Malley will be helping us determine who our audiences will be. In general we will write casually for college-educated people.

Part II: Working on the Writing Project
