What specific problems do you anticipate coming across while writing this task, and how will you work to address those problems? What strategies will you use and when? How have you addressed similar problems in past writing tasks? What approaches were particularly effective or ineffective? Why?

Before Writing Scenario: Let’s say this writing task goes extremely poorly for you. Start at the end and explain what happened. That is, imagine that the proposal is not effective and does not get funded. Tell the story of what went wrong in your proposal. Start at the end: what was the result? Why did it fail? What could you have done to address these challenges? For example, was it an individual section/task/process that needed improvement?

Write an email to your funding organization, explaining where you went wrong in your proposal and what you would change if given the opportunity to write a revised proposal. Are there any areas that you might have failed to keep the mission of the funding organization in mind, for example, that you would like to revise?
