Team Proposal Like all memos, this team proposal memo should have an accurate and interesting subject line (NOT the name of the assignment), an introduction that previews the memo, and a clear sense of audience and purpose. Your team proposal should be written in the form of a memo to your instructor. To create your team’s proposal, work together to revise and add to the preliminary proposal of the team member whose project your team selected. Do the following: 1. Revise the introduction so it is clear that this is a team proposal, not a preliminary proposal. After describing the problem the project will address, explain why your team chose this project over the other available topics. Your team proposal should show your instructor that you have made a thoughtful decision about the topic of your project. 2. Revise the body of the memo, keeping the sections already there, and adding any that were missing. Be sure to address all concerns noted on the original draft, being especially careful to address areas where the preliminary proposal did not meet the criteria or did not clearly explain how the project meets the criteria. For example, the preliminary proposal may not have clearly defined the problem; it may have neglected to name the target audience; or it may have failed to mention the possible type(s) of primary research that might be appropriate. 3. Add to the proposal the following three sections: Group strengths and weaknesses: Every group has strengths and weaknesses, and the key to successful teamwork is to be aware of what they are. That way you can work around the limitations and maximize the strengths. Although you’ve just started working together, you can still share and assess the strengths and weaknesses of your team. So in this section, you will describe your team: What talents or skills do each of you bring to the work? For example, are any of you experienced at doing library research? Have any of you used APA documentation before? Does anyone on the team have a major area of study related to the topic? Does anyone have particularly good editing skills? What are other interests or skills of individual team members that will contribute to the team’s work? What limitations do you think your team faces? Do you foresee any areas where the team will be lacking or will need extra help? Policies and procedures: What policies and procedures has your team developed to help you become a successful team? How will your team keep track of deadlines and who’s doing what? What specific strategies from our handbook Group Work and Collaborative Writing (see link under Tools in Oncourse) will your team incorporate to help you get past disagreements? Is your team going to appoint a coordinator or co-coordinators for each phase of the project? For the entire project? (Will your team rotate the leadership?) What strategies will your team use to discourage groupthink? How will your team work together to insure that everyone’s voice is heard? How will your team handle issues such as excessive absenteeism, chronic tardiness, late or missing work from team members, etc.? How will you decide when to involve the instructor in resolving problems? I require teams members to post their drafts on Oncourse prior to class. What other procedures will you follow to ensure that the work is completed and available to the team? Explain. Preliminary Questions: What questions do you have for your instructor as you begin?
