Project 1 Editing Exercise PHASES 1 and 2
The goals of Project 1 are:
1) To practice writing a memo with ethics being the topic;
2) To Practice effective editing strategies for group writing situations, using the methods described in Chapter 4 of our textbook.
2) To become familiar with the memo format. You can begin this as soon as the assignment is open.
When you have completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Project 1 due earlier this week on the discussion board, you will move on to the final Phase 3, writing up a self-assessment memo and sending it to me along with your revised memo via the Assignment Dropbox. Upload (attach) your self-assessment memo and revised memo (in one file) as an .rtf, .doc, or .docx file here. The assessment memo (the final phase of Project 1) gives you the opportunity to talk a little bit about what you did and how you did it in the earlier phases of Project 1, focusing mostly on Phase 2, in which you practiced giving useful critique electronically.
Things to include in your memo:
- An overview of your process of writing and editing the memo
- A list of edits you made (use the “Editing Specifics” checklist to help you with this)
- A discussion of editing strategies/techniques you are comfortable with along with those you would like to improve
- A description of the edits you received on your memo, and which of them were most useful to you (and why/how they were useful)
- A brief discussion of how you might make use of what you learned in the future
- Paste in your revised memo in the same file. Do NOT send me two separate files.
Word Count:300-450 Words for the assessment memo.
