My Goals for This Week:
Work on my policy and opening letter, and update the "My Mentor" and "My Bibliography" tabs.
My Mentor:
I sent Ms. Spence my timeline for the rest of the semester, and also decided to just stick with my original product idea.
My Research:
Last week I found a pdf of the Texas Drafting Manual which has been very helpful when writing my policy. This week I was able to find a few examples of policies that I can use to compare mine to for tone, grammar, and structure. I tried to find ones of varying length and goals. For example this one:
http://www.legis.state.tx.us/Search/DocViewer.aspx?ID=83RSB013461B&QueryText=education&Doc
is asking for a task force to help restructure the health requirements in school to account for cultural differences. The bill is quite short and brief. There is also this one: http://www.legis.state.tx.us/Search/DocViewer.aspx?ID=83RSB010541B&QueryText=education&Doc
which is quite longer, and addresses the requirement of a vaccination against bacterial meningitis for school children.
My Goals for Next Week:
Finish the policy and opening letter and send them out.
