20 Time Proposal: A New Book of Inspiration

My project is to compile a book of new, modern, inspirational quotes for Mr.Blair to use before the start of each class instead of using his current and very dated "inspirational" quote book. 

Needs and Opportunities

The problem that I noticed was that Mr.Blair's inspirational quote book was full of old quotes by people his students did not know of and could not relate to. The solution to this problem is to compile a group of new quotes that John Carroll students can relate to and can be used before each one of Mr.Blair's classes to actually inspire his class for that mod and hopefully the rest of the day. 

Audience / Clients / Users

The audience that this project reaches and impacts is Mr. Blair and every student that he teaches. It can help Mr.Blair accomplish his goal of trying to inspire his students before each class, while at the same time, benefiting the students in his classroom by giving them a new variety of quotes to choose from to inspire their class that could really inspire them for class. 

Timeline

By March 15 I will...

• Choose categories of quotes for each section of my book 
• Start looking for quotes that inspire me 

By April 15 I will...

• Make an official list of all of the quotes I want to include in the book and divide them into categories based on their theme 

By May 15 I will...

• Have the pages of my book designed 
• Add drawings to each page matching the theme 
• Have a hard copy of my book printed 

Product/End Result

The end product of my project is a new book for Mr.Blair's classroom, full of quotes, that students and read through and pick from to read at the start of each class and inspire their peers.

Resources

To complete the project I am going to have to have access to google and websites that have databases of quotes from people who are relevant today, a website that can be used to format the pages of my book, and a way to order, print, and receive a hard copy of the book.

Conclusion

I am looking forward to working on this project because I hope that my inspiration book for Mr.Blair's classroom can stay in his room during my time at John Carroll, be read to future English classes, and truly inspire some other English students. I hope that my book can be an inspiration book that students can relate to.
