30-Hour Famine Leadership Project

As part of the Leadership unit within the grade 11/12 Active Healthy Living course, grade 11/12 student will be organizing a 30-Hour-Famine.

Generally speaking, you will be in charge of researching, planning, organizing, inviting, and hosting a 30-hour-famine.

As part of the project, you're expected to research the 30-Hour-Famine program and World Vision Canada.

At the 30-Hour-Famine site, you'll find information for helping you to organize the event.

Plan of Action
You are expected to work together with your classmates to come up with an actual plan of action.
This is a step-by-step overview of the overall steps needed to completed the project. I'd encourage you to create this plan in google docs with sharing/collaboration enabled so that all can work together on it.

Sponsor List
You'll need to find sponsors. Google spreadsheets would be a useful tool to help list and organize your potential sponsers and their contributions.

Letter to sponsors
You'll need to prepare a letter to send to sponsors. This could be sent via email. The letter should include information about the 30-hour-famine, why you are doing it, what you hope to accomplish, and what you expect of your sponsor. It must be polite and respectful.

Poster
You'll want to create posters to adverstise the upcoming 30-Hour-Famine. This should tell your audience what it's about, why they should join, and when it will take place.

Collaboration
Throughout this project, you are expected to collaborate, to share or divide your workload evenly. I'm expecting some of you to show leadership to help accomplish the goal.

At the end of the class, I'd like you to fill out the "Engagement Survey".
