Constructing Operational Plan
Phase 1
Identify EACH of the different components of your program. For
example, if your program involves students rotating through different stations, each
station would be a component. Use the back of this page if you need more space.

Phase 2
For EACH identified component; write a short description of the
purpose of the station in terms as though someone who knew nothing about what
you were doing would be able to understand. Minimum 150 words PER component
maximum of 350 words. Use the back of this page if necessary.
The following descriptions below describe the purpose of each component of the project.
See sample below:
1. The purpose of station #1 is to teach students that eating healthy can be fun and taste
great too! Students will receive various pieces of fruits and vegetables on a paper plate.
Each member on our team will be responsible for teaching the students the benefits of
each type of fruit or vegetable. Afterwards, an interactive quiz will be given to test the
student’s knowledge. Our test will require students to answer a question about a fruit or
vegetable. They will then place that item on a shish kabob stick. Those students who
answer all of the questions correctly and have their fruit and vegetables in the right order
will receive a prize.
