Include SWOT analysis diagram with list of bullet points in each of the 4 areas. Make note that strengths and weaknesses are internal to the organization, while opportunities and threats are external to the organization—things that impact the organization that it has little if any control over.
Following the SWOT diagram: one paragraph for each of the bullet points in order to provide additional details/explanation of the importance of that recommendation. Make connections back to information provided in your FSSP Part 1, subsection A submission.
The final paragraph should bring the SWOT analysis to a conclusion while also introducing the reader to what’s coming in the next subsection, the behavioral theory analysis.

● Conclude part one:
On a separate page, summarize what you’ve explained about your site in part one, including the major details that were provided in all 3 subsections submitted weeks 5-7.
The final part of the conclusion should involve a sentence or two that introduces your reader(s) to what will come next in the project: part 2. What is the problem at the organization that you and your
site supervisor have discussed and that you will develop
for them?

Your behavioral theory diagram
Any quotes you may have used in this subsection.
Remember, your goal in part 2 is to find a problem or issue for which the organization needs to create a solution (but the supervisor may not have time to do so). Some supervisors will already have some issues in mind, perhaps introduced during the SWOT analysis discussed for part 1, while others may ask you for your insights based on what you’ve witnessed so far. Based on the SWOT analysis you might propose a couple of different ways to address the problem/weakness. Realize that this supervisor is a leader and if s/he doesn’t like your idea, ask what they would propose.
Does your action plan require recipes or diagrams? A curriculum to teach nutrition? If so, these should be developed in this portion of project)
~Explain how your action plan for Part 2 applies to the behavioral theory analyzed in FSSP part 1.
