STUDENT EDITION 44 LESSON Page 4 息 2013 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co., Inc. You will determine your team project to align with your Big Goal. If your Big Goal comes out of nowhere, you will have a hard time believing in it. You need to have a realistic picture of who you are as an individual, and as a team, in order to understand what you are capable of achieving. A good sense of the knowledge needed to accomplish your goal helps, too! Now that you have brainstormed ideas for your Lead2Feed project, it is time to discuss the merits of the best ideas and choose a project your team can develop. You have to believe it can be done! Refer to your notes from Lessons 1 - 4 as you discuss the questions below and narrow down your project options. 1. Of all the ideas you have brainstormed, which ideas are most appealing? 2. Which ideas can help people who need it? 3. Which ideas allow you to work with a non-profit organization? Remember that in order to submit your Lead2Feed project for the World Hunger Leadership Challenge, you must partner with a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. You may be wondering what this means...in the simplest terms, a 501(c)(3) is an organization whose earnings do not benefit a private individual and that does not participate in political campaigns or endorsements. You can use a website like charitynavigator.org to help determine if your selected organization meets the requirements. Once you have thought about and discussed these questions, combine and elaborate on your best ideas to turn them into a project that will help you reach your Big Goal. Describe your project in the space below. As you write down the details of your project, consider the following: 1. How can you make your project idea better? 2. How can you make it align with your Big Goal? ? ACTIVITY THREE: PROJECT DEVELOPMENT Describe the project idea on which your team would like to take action in order to reach your Big Goal.
