“What does the proposal require?”

It requires the use of the appropriate register, tone and format to write about the choice of activity for the VIA, ways to serve and relevant details, the ways the activity would benefit the students, why the activity is chosen instead of the other and a concern that may arise and how it may be addressed.

OUTLINE:
- choice of activity: partnering with the NParks for a beach clean up at East Coast Park.
- ways to serve:
• clear rubbish from the sand and pavements
• sort out recyclables from trash
• use tongs to pick up the trash and dispose them in garbage bags.
- transportation: we will walk there as the school is near the East Coast Park. This will allow the students to exercise.
- cost: we will not need much money as we only need to spend $20 on tongs and $15 on the garbage bags. There is no need to pay for the transportation as we would be walking to the park.
- benefits: the students will learn to protect the environment and learn to keep the environment clean, tidy and safe. The students will also benefit from the walking to the park as it is a form of exercise.
- why is this activity preferred: the East Coast Park is nearer to the school. Cleaning the beach keeps the environment clean for others to use whereas after the Chinese New Year party, the uneaten food and the rubbish left over will pollute the environment.
- concern: some people may not want to participate in the activity as they feel like they feel that it is a waste of time. However, we could issue VIA points and make the activity compulsory. We could also include competitions and award prizes to the class that picks up the most rubbish.
