You and your colleagues, who teach business communication at Oscoda County Community College, are interested in setting up a business writer’s hotline—a telephone and e-mail service that will provide answers to grammar, mechanics, and format questions for people who call in or write. You see it as a way of providing a much-needed service to local businesspeople as well as a way of providing positive public relations for your institution.Each faculty member is willing to donate time to answer the phones and e-mails, but you will need funds for telephone lines, answering machines, reference books, advertising, and more. You decide to apply for a grant from the H. M. Luce Foundation to fund the project for 1 year. After that, if the hotline is successful, you will either reapply for funds or ask Oscoda County Community College administration to fund the continuing costs. For requests less than $3,000, the foundation requests a simple narrative report explaining and justifying the request.Part 1 (1–2 pages):In your paper, answer the following information-gathering questions:What is the background of the problem?What will be the outcome of the project?Describe the audience for this report and the implications for structuring your report.Describe how the hotline will work.What are the advantages of this project?What will the project cost?What are the qualifications of those involved?Part 2 (2–4 pages):Now, you will need to take the information that has been collected from the information gathering and write a proposal to H.

You are a staff member in a before/after school program at a local community center.  When working with a 5-year-old girl in the program, you discover that she has a cast on her foot and that both of her legs and arms are covered in bruises, which are in different phases of healing. The child’s parents tell you that she is sickly and is prone to illnesses and can be very demanding, but you are concerned that someone may be abusing her. When you ask the child what happened, she simply shrugs her shoulders and keeps playing with her dolls. You ask the parents what happened to the child to cause the bruises, and they indicate that she is a clumsy child and keeps falling down. You ask the mother if anyone in the family has ever been tested for osteogenesis imperfecta and Von Willebrand’s disease, which would be a medical explanation for these injuries, or if the father uses alternative medicinal practices, such as cupping. She replies no to both questions.The Director of the Before/After School Program has an obligation to report potential child abuse to the proper authorities. Thus the Director asks you to provide a presentation on your recommendations as to whether to report the potential abuse claim. The deliverable for this assignment is this presentation.Begin your presentation by indicating the validity of the parent’s explanation or your own suspicions and justify why they are either valid or invalid with 2-3 bullet points. Then detail the steps that you would take to investigate or assess the mother’s claim. If you found the claim to be valid, suggest a few ways to help the family avoid and reduce the child’s injuries. If the claim is not valid, then detail the steps needed in order to get assistance for the child.Requirements:Your presentation should include a total of 5-6 slides plus an additional slide for the bibliography.Cite at last two scholarly sources to support your conclusions and recommendations.Include at least two graphics (photographs, diagrams, charts, etc.) in order to support your points and enhance the overall presentationProvide tracks of your recorded voice to narrate each slide.
