Learning Competencies with Code:
1. Determines the ways a writer can elucidate on a concept by definition, explication and

2. Compare and contrast various kinds of concept papers. (CS_EN11/12A-EAPP-Igj-20)
What is a Concept Paper?
All research projects need a concept paper: a short summary that tells the reader
what the project is, why it is important, and how it will be carried out. Even if no one else
ever reads it, the concept paper helps a researcher spot holes in her or his project that
might later prove fatal. It is far better to be clear at the beginning than to put in a lot of
effort for nothing!
Typically, a concept paper contains these elements:
1. A title in the form of a question. This may be the last part of the concept paper that
you write, but it should appear at the heading of the paper.
2. A clear description of the research topic, including a summary of what is already known
about that topic.
3. A one-sentence statement of the research question that the project will seek to
answer. (This is almost always something that is not known.) The concept paper should
elaborate on how this question can be answered -- something that almost always takes
8 more than one sentence to accomplish. 1
4. A demonstration of why it is important to answer this research question. What good
comes of this answer? Why is this project worth writing?

Education on Wheels 2Let us help you quit now!

(Introduction) 3The No Smoking Group, Pleasantville’s premier anti-smoking advocacy program, has several
free or inexpensive programs to suit your needs. We provide everything from patches to
Education on Wheels is a project with the motto to literate out of school children also children information to, if needed, just someone to talk to when you really need a smoke.
attending the government schools but dwelling in slums. We bring teachers to the doorsteps of
these educationally deprived children. 4Having a hard time quitting a bad smoking habit? Our comprehensive consultation package may
be just what you need to stop. In just four weeks, six out of every ten of our clients stop smoking,
Our main aim is to: and another two continue their education and at least cut back.

1. literate the children who are deprived of education living below poverty line in slum areas;
2. confer the education at the doorstep of deprived children;
3. raise the literacy ratio of an area; 4. introduce modern & informal education to deprived children;
5. introduce modern study aids, materials to the children going corporation schools; and 6. confer
values & morals among slum children.
5The process is simple: First, we have a one-on-one consultation to find just what you need to
help you quit. Our consultant then takes you through a list of services—all of them included in
the cost of the program—and helps you decide which ones would best suit you. Finally, your
consultant helps you build a personalized plan, scheduling classes and meetings as needed to fit
your busy schedule!

(Purpose)
The main motive of this project is to literate the children who are deprived of education, dwelling
in slum areas.
The project is worth sponsoring for it will enable out-of-school youth to develop their skills and
intellect. This will also help less fortunate families to have children participate in the free lectures,
seminars, and trainings to be conducted by the proponents and invited speakers.
(Description)
The project will gather children (out of school youth) & conduct the class inside the bus. The project
will be happening in 5 different barangays in Panabo City every Saturday of March 2018 from 8:00
am to 12:00 noon.
Attendees will be given free snacks. Leaflets / books will also be available during the discussion
proper.
Topics to be included on the seminar will be: - English, Math, Science - Media and Information
Literacy - Computer Literacy - Cyberspace and Digital Security – Others.
6Maybe your needs aren’t so intense. If you’re a social smoker looking to quit, or perhaps a
concerned friend or family member wanting to help someone with their own efforts,
personalized consultations can run as low as $15—and information is always free.
7Regardless of how intense your habit (as long as your end result is to quit), we can help. As a
nonprofit under Pleasantville statute 4.03.c, our only goal is to aid smoking cessation in the
Pleasantville metro area. Any fees charged are in the interest of creating more non-smokers and
not to turn a profit.
8Need more info? Contact us! The office is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through
Saturday, and our free information resources (brochures and more) are available 24-7 in our
main lobby. If you visit during our open hours, however, a personalized consultant would be
more than happy to help you in your quest.
9Stop smoking today! We can help!

The project will also launch a website (educationonwheels.org) and a Facebook page at
