Mrs. Bowman Visits Third Graders



Mrs. Bowman is an accountant ,and part of her job is writing and presenting proposals to companies that her company wants business from.. She does business with Metro Bank and  Hershey. She usually writes about five proposals a year. She volunteered her time to help a third grade class make proposals.

She makes sure she knows who she is talking to when giving a proposal. It is helpful to know your audience because you know what to say better. She wants to make a personal connection with her audience. She told the third graders making connections can help companies trust the presenters more. She said to make a connection with Mr. Miller, who they are presenting to.

She told the third graders to practice, practice, practice. She reads her proposal thoroughly to make sure it makes sense. If she finds a mistake, she’ll edit it and make sure it makes sense. She told the third graders to practice in front of a mirror or to their group members.

On the day of the presentation, you should have your teeth brushed and clean your face. Dressing formally helps show that you are serious.

After the proposal, she shakes everyone’s hand and thanks them.  She also makes thank you cards thanking companies. She said that was a good idea for third graders too.
