Today's In-Class Exercise

Today in class, we workshopped our resumes and assigned the small tasks of the BP.  In addition, I have given you a substantial amount of time to continue work on your specific section of the plan.

My goal is for everyone to have all the information they need, and some of the writing done, but tonight...and then by next Tuesday, for everyone to have their content in a rough section/sub-section format.

So, here is your task for today.  Use the remaining time from class to continue work on your section.  Then, by 10 pm this evening, post to this blog (in the comments here), telling me how far along you are, and what major work you have left for your section.  This will keep us all up to date with each other...and maybe even motivate each other, as well!

    I have organized my 3 main sources for Industry and Product/Service and started taking notes on each. After this, I will then answer the questions on the checklist and write my rough draft this weekend.

    I have finished outlining and researching for the marketing strategy section. I am also in charge of editing the executive summary and putting together the whole plan. I will do that when everyone finishes those sections.

    I have found three sources to verify my financials section and I have begun to outline a general format for how I would like to organize my main section. However, it is still a very rough draft and will need a lot of work. I am also responsible for our table of contents/reference page and proofreading. Hope you have a good weekend.

    I have completed a broad outline of the principals, staff, and work environment from the suggested questions on the checklist. I am currently in the process of writing down possible marketing strategies, and next week I hope to be able to wrap things up with our conclusion.
