A. Assignment Guidelines DIRECTIONS: Draft double-spaced, 3-4-page (750-1000 words) informative comparison/contract report in which you: Include an introduction that informs readers of the problem to be solved and the innovation that you have proposed. The introduction should end with a thesis statement that conveys the two methods of implementation you will be comparing and contrasting, as well as the 2-3 factors of comparison/contrast that you will be discussing. For example, if the innovation you’d like to implement is more rapid communication between teams, you could discuss two different instant messaging tools that the company could implement and compare/contrast them through the lenses of cost, usability, and efficiency. Include 4-6 body paragraphs organized according to either the point-by-point or block method for comparison/contrast writing, which you learned about in this unit. Using APA format, cite and reference 2-4 credible primary or secondary sources that you used to learn about these methods of implementation and the points of comparison/contrast you chose. End with a concluding paragraph that restates your thesis in different words and provides a closing thought. Write in the informative mode throughout the composition, using objective language. Minimize mechanical and stylistic errors. Answer the reflection questions listed below. B. Reflection Questions DIRECTIONS: Below your assignment, include answers to all of the following reflection questions. Did you use the point-by-point or block method to organize your body paragraphs? What made you decide to organize your essay in this way? (3-4 sentences) Consider the experience of writing in the informative mode. How was this different from other writing assignments you have done? Did you find it difficult to refrain from providing your opinion on the different methods you explored? (2-3 sentences) How did you use technology throughout this process, both in writing your report and finding sources? (2-3 sentences) Remember that the writing process is a recursive process, and your first draft of an essay is rarely your last. Which part of the draft did you struggle with the most, and why? Since you will be revising this Touchstone in the next unit, think about how you can improve the draft once you continue the writing process with revision and editing. (3-4 sentences) D.
