Creative Project Title (that communicates your selected practice and its purpose)
Proposed Practice
Describe the specific practice that you intend on exploring for the next two weeks. For instance, are you selecting “block scheduling” (to organize your daily routine), committing to walking outside for 10 minutes, every day, or decluttering an area for 3 minutes, every day? Be as specific as possible when articulating the activity or practice that you will be implementing for the next two weeks.
Implementation
In this section, explain how/when you will begin preparing and implementing the practice. For instance, will you need to dedicate a certain day to gather materials and/or brainstorm before beginning the practice? For instance, if you want to declutter a certain area, you may need to gather bags for potential trash and boxes for potential donations.
Timeline
Specifically state the days that you will begin and the project. Then, commit to a specific time frame to reflect—as well as how you plan to reflect on the experiment. For instance, do you want to keep a running list of realizations, as you journal; do you want to “brain dump” a list of realizations two days after the experiment has ended; do you want to ask friends/family members what type of changes [if any] they noticed during your experiment.
Expectations
What do you expect will be the outcomes of the experiment? Do you think that the practice will be beneficial in a potential way? [Note: if the practice can be harmful in any way, do not attempt it.]
Challenges & Solutions
In this section, explain the various types of challenges that you expect to encounter, while completing this project; for instance, perhaps you are concerned about procrastination or remaining consistent during the two weeks. Include those concerns or potential challenges, in this section. Then, provide specific ways that you intend to minimize those challenges. For instance, if you struggle with finding time to dedicate to journaling about the practice, you may create a routine to write in your journal at 8 a.m., every morning, so that you can complete that task without interruptions [while everyone sleeps].
Students will create a proposal about their intended course project (a consecutive two-week investigative project about a selected self-care practice).  The practice (and project) must be approved before beginning.  Sample practices are provided via D2L, and no dangerous or risky behaviors will be approved.  All practices must be potentially beneficial in a healthy, reasonable, and logical way.

Grammar & Syntax
The prose has been supremely edited to eliminate major and minor errors.
Examples of exemplary work include:
All major errors have been eliminated, along with any informal language (e.g., colloquial language and second-person references); and, very few minor errors are present—if, at all.
Content is expertly developed via specificity and examples, making it incredibly accessible to the intended audience.  The project is perfectly cohesive and achieves its goals.
The writing has been substantially edited to eliminate most major and minor errors.
Examples of adequate work include:
Instances of major errors (e.g., comma splices, run-on sentences, subject-verb disagreement) are limited to 1-2 examples (total) in the entire essay.  Likewise, spelling, syntactical, and/or punctuation errors are limited to 1 or 2 examples—if present, at all.  Informal language and second-person references are extremely rare, if present.
Content is developed, with specificity and examples; however, a little more elaboration and/or examples may have been beneficial in some areas.  Cohesion is working well.
While partial editing changes were made, the writing quality suffers because of the lack of editing.  Very few instances of confusion may remain.
Examples of limited work include:
Instances of major errors (e.g., comma splices, run-on sentences, subject-verb disagreement) may be fewer; however, a few instances remain.  Likewise, spelling, syntactical, and/or punctuation errors may be fewer, but many are still present.  The essay may still contain informal language and/or second-person references.
Content is partially developed, either lacking in specificity and/or examples (in some places).  And, the project may need further cohesion in some areas (or, as a whole).
The writing quality still does not meet college-level expectations.  Some of the errors may result in confusion.
Examples of inferior work include:
Major types of errors (e.g., comma splices, run-on sentences, fragments, and/or subject verb agreement) are still pervasive.  A disregard for spelling, word choices, punctuation, and formal/academic writing may also be present.
