Week 6: Are You Inspired? The Pitch!

Some food for thought (and what you could write about for this week's blog post) before we focus on your #20time pitch. Ask yourself...

Are you inspired?

The word "inspired" comes from two words "in" and "spirit". The word literally means "in spirit." In other words, when you are inspired by something, it means that you are living in line with your spirit. 

Yes, I know this is kind of spiritual and may make you uneasy, but think about. Are you inspired by your #20time project? If not, you may want to shift into something that inspires you. 

The idea goes that if you are inspired, you are walking your spirit's path, and that is when things just click. Work is easier. Coincidences happen that help you move further down the road.

It's just that simple.

On to today's focus....

You've spent several weeks mulling over an idea and now know what you are doing with your 20% Project. Now, it's time to pitch your idea to the public and get feedback. This feedback is vital to your project. It gives you holistic feedback on your project.

What to do



Create a tri-fold brochure and print at least six copies. Give one copy to me and the other five to other people asking for their feedback through a questionnaire (can not be students in Mr. Guay's class). 

Criteria:
  • A quick summary of what you are doing
  • Why you want to do the project
  • How you are doing it (write down the SMART goal)
  • What you want to accomplish from it 
  • Include a few photos to show 

Print this questionnaire and give it to the five people you share your project with:

What to hand in?

Hand in the brochure and the five completed questionnaires to me on October 30th! Please staple them all together and make sure your name is on it.

Here are some helpful links to make a tri-fold brochure:
You can do it! Remember to stand tall and proud! Posture can often say more than words. 

P.S. Yes -- you are writing a blog post this week and completing The Pitch. Embrace your inner awesomeness.
