How to approach this assignment…
Please choose any nonprofit you would like to study for this assignment!
Breakdown the title – market (a place where two parties gather to facilitate an exchange of goods or nontangible services), research (investigation or study of materials to establish facts and reach new conclusions), and journal (a daily record of research, thoughts, or observation).
Plan – to work on the assignment daily over five days to gain insight into your organization over time, researching, and recording observations each day.
Organize – your content based on the required checklist below. It is a ten-item list that you will use to fill your journal. You may use the required items in any order you choose. Journals are great because they keep information all in one place and permit future reference. This is a helpful tool to use before creating a marketing plan or devising marketing strategies as the research, thoughts, and observations you record in a journal will support your ideas. Each day should contain a similar amount of information, some days might be a little longer or shorter.
Format – you are welcome to present the information in any format you choose. Here are several optional suggestions. 1) List the day/date and what you researched that day (like a diary) 2) A narrative paper conveying information as a story including sensory details (sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell). 3) Try a Bullet Journal, but please do not confuse the use of a bullet journal with listing information in bullet point format, complete sentences and paragraphs should be used. Sample page to follow.
Length | Appearance – six pages including title or cover page and five APA or MLA reference citations. Including a date on your title or cover page is important to show at what point in time the content was relevant. Remember a journal is a tool to look back on for reference. Please use 1-inch margins, 12-point font, double spacing, and page numbers. Please exclude excessive blank space or pages. Exceeding six pages is fine. Please post this ONLY in the Assignment folder, not this Discussion topic, thank you!
