Introduction - Rough Draft

Introduction

A. Background
When I see teens around me, not all of them live in a healthy life. Some of them eat junk food, unhealthy drinks, not doing exercise and many unhealthy lifestyles. I asked one of my friends, Mada Tamara about what she thinks about teen's lifestyle. She said, "I think some teens live a healthy life but some are not. I could see it through their habit of eating and exercising." I also find a quote that state: "We first make our habits, and then our habits make us." - John Dryden -. I know that facing teen's life is not that easy. We need to divide our time for school, sports, and many other activities that we do. By this way, it would affect teen's lifestyle by ending up with unhealthy life.

B. Goal
The lifestyle that I see around me make me feel like making a book that would persuade teens to live a healthy life. The goal of my personal project is to persuade teens to live a healthy life by doing several things such as eating healthy food, doing sport, and many more. One of the challenges that I would face is making the book interesting and persuading for teens because each person has different taste. The form used to achieve my goal would be in a form of a book that consists of three main sections, which are food and drinks, sports, and fun activities. To make sure that I have a proper content, I need to check on the result of the survey. If there is, at least 50% of the survey shows positive input (this happens if the sum of a survey is 50% in average. I could sum it up because I use range between 1 - 5), it means I succeeded my project. Another way is to ask an expert on health to check about the content of the book. By this way, my goal is a SMART goal because it is specific, measurable, achievable, and well timed. I hope by making this project, I could make an impact on teen's lifestyle.

C. AOI
For this project, I am applying the Areas of Interaction (AOI) which is Human Ingenuity (HI) because I use my creativity to design the book both, for the content and the appearance it self. By using the HI AOI, I would achieve my goal by showing my creativity on expressing my idea about healthy lifestyle for teens, giving them information and tips that hopefully be useful for their life. The guiding questions that I will use for this project are: "Why and how do we create?" and "What are the consequences?" From these guidelines, I need to be aware that there will be some key questions that I will need through the project.

D. Plan
This is the activity schedule that I have planed in order to achieve my goal.

E. Standard of Success
I could know that my goal is successful when: 1.) there is at least 50% of the surveyed target audience give positive answer for the questionnaires and/or 2.) Ask an expert (ex. Doctor) to check the content of my book, when 60% of the content is good, it means that I have achieved my goal.
