Five. This assignment will require you to assess your concept of self,
your communication skills, strengths and weaknesses, challenges, and
opportunities for growth. The draft should address the issues listed.

The draft must be three to four pages in length (excluding title and
reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. The draft must
contain an introduction with thesis statement, at least three body
paragraphs, and a conclusion. Identify at least four theories or models
of communication you have studied in the course, and apply them to the
forms of communication as noted in the Final Portfolio instructions in

Organizational Communications). The three body paragraphs should
individually address each of the three forms of communication. You must
