RE-FRAMING YOUR WRITING STORY
Learning how other, more experienced writers and communicators make choices to communicate their ideas effectively is key to changing the story of your writing skills so you, too, become the strong, confident writer you need to be to succeed in college and your professional career.
For this assignment, write to inform your instructor that you understand effective writing and explain to them what choice(s) you can make to change your writing story.
Select an informative piece of writing which addresses an issue relevant to your field of study.
Select either:
An informal publication like the transcriipt of a TED Talk or a personal blog post
A more formal peer-reviewed article from the PG Library
A business newsletter
In your assignment, complete the following steps:
Concisely explain to your instructor what effective writing is based on the knowledge you gained from Hawkes and PG Writing Center resources and what you learned in Seminar.
Explain what you think are the effective writing choices the author of the chosen document makes in establishing and supporting their main point.
Finally, explain what writing choices you need to make more effective in the future based on what you see in the model writing and how you plan to do that.
OPTIONS: You can communicate your knowledge and plan by either:
Writing a two-paragraph definition of effective writing and a descriiption of your writing change plan. Submit your completed assignment to the Unit 2 Assignment Dropbox.
OR
Communicating the information through a PowerPoint or Prezi, as long as your presentation includes the equivalent of two paragraphs of written scriipt for the presentation. If you choose PowerPoint or Prezi, the written scriipt and presentation or written scriipt and link to the presentation must be submitted as a Word document to the Unit 2 Assignment Dropbox. Your grade will be based on the written information rather than the PowerPoint or Prezi presentation skills you demonstrate.
Use the Unit 2 Assignment Chart to help organize and focus your thoughts. Doing so will also help you meet the Unit 2 Assignment Rubric expectations.
NOTE: You will not be graded on the correctness of APA citation format; you will learn how to do that later in the course. For now, hyperlinks are acceptable.
You will need, however, to follow the APA draft format by creating a title page and using the guidelines for paragraphing outlined in the following PG Writing Center video:
