Step Two: Further Details

The point of this step is to make sure that you are not just doing something to help, but that you are intentionally and thoughtfully considering the outcome of your actions. Below, I have briefly explained the aspects that need to be included in this step, but note that the easiest way to get a sense of this step is to look at the example assignment. Also, be sure to consider Dr. Muellers feedback on your Step One as you proceed through Step Two.

First, choose one of the contributions you suggested in Step One and write a 500-word plan on what you do to accomplish your contribution. As noted above, your plan should address the following questions:

A clear step-by-step description of exactly what you are going to do. The key to success here is being very specific; again, see the example as a guide.
What you think the outcome will be. Who will benefit from your project? How will they benefit? How do you think you will be affected by participating in this process?
Possible difficulties you may encounter and how you will address these difficulties. Back-up plans are key!
The advantages and disadvantages of attacking the problem using your strategy. As you have (hopefully!) learned in this class, social problems are multi-faceted and it is impossible to address all sides of a problem with one action. Why did you decide to address the problem in the way that you did? What does your action leave undone? Could you possibly damage your cause by addressing it this way?
