Activity 2
The following is a sample concept paper. Read it and analyze carefully. Then fill out the information
given in the table below.
Sample Concept Paper
For years, may students depend on the school’s drinking fountain. Aside from saving money, the
school’s drinking fountain contains filters that make the water safe enough to drink. But according to our
research, the last time the water was tested was about three years ago and by using the drinking fountains
around school, it is highly questionable that the water is still safe for drinking. Our group has theorized that the
natural wear-and-tear of the drinking fountain has led to the water’s unpleasant taste. Our group, The Mosaic
Alliance, aims to create several online sources that will help promote the awareness of people involved about
this problem and create an online petition with the goal of improving our drinking fountains here in school.
Our group aims to create [Link] petition, a Facebook group and a blog to help achieve our goals.
We will be creating infographics and other related information connected to the dangers of drinking unsafe
water especially at a young age. The scope of our project is to be able to reach the school’s administration,
parents, teachers, and students to sign our petition.
We will be requiring a week to develop this project and we will start our promotion right after we have
uploaded the website. We will also be using our own resources so the funding for this project will be close to
none. Our expenses may only include the printing of campaign materials and the Internet and computer shop
rentals in case we need more time outside our school hours. We will also be using free services already
offered by Facebook, Blogger, and [Link].
