Week 13 - March 31 - April 6

Please Note: For the remainder of Project 3, groups will need to complete tasks by the end of the week
(Sunday evening at the latest); the work will not be broken down by Monday, Wednesday, or
Friday night's assignments. Therefore, it is vital that you keep working on things
througout the week and do not leave these steps until the last minute. Late work will not be
accepted for this project.

By Sunday, April 6th at midnight:

    Each group should:
  • Make contact with your assigned agency right away (by Monday at the latest, but feel free to contact them earlier). Make sure you use proper email etiquette in your email, and check your spelling, grammar, etc. before you post this email. Copy (CC) this email to your instructor and all group members.Remember
    to CC the instructor on ALL emails to the client going forward as well.

  • While waiting to hear back, work on the individual tasks listed below the group section.
  • Once you hear back from your agency representative (client), reflect on and organize
    the desired document needs as a group.
  • Communicating as a group:
    **Schedule meeting times with group members.
    **Schedule weekly progress memos (to client and to instructor) and dates to deliver
    these reports.
    **Develop tentative plans for other project work.
    **Continue researching your client, including what services the organization provides for the
    community. Your Client Research Memo will be due on XX.

  • Each group should email your instructor a memo (in proper memo format - see TH p.232)
    detailing what you accomplished this week as a group. This is due Sunday, April 6th, by
    midnight (one per group).
  • Each group should send the client a Client Memo also by Sunday night, remembering to
    CC the instructor. Please do not use the exact same memo for the client that you send the
    instructor - consider your audience and make content decisions accordingly.
      • Each individual should:
  • Refer to your textbook for the following readings:
    **Refresh your memory about sending professional emails by skimming TH, Chapter 27, 603-17.
    **Planning Writing Projects (TH, p. 17-29).

  • Read the Faber article (attached). It will seem completely unrelated at first, but don't
    worry, it will start making sense soon!
  • Once you read the article and textbook readings, post a reading response to your blog in
    which you discuss project 3 in general and what you have learned from the above readings, making
    sure to at least touch upon some of the textbook information and Faber. (300 words minimum).
    Also please add any thoughts, concerns, and/or questions you have about the project. (See bottom
    of page.)
  • Individual project logs should be completed and posted by Sunday night.
  • Continue posting comments and replies - five (5) are due this week. This is your last
    week for posting comments and replies, so feel free to celebrate! Smiling
  • By Sunday, April 6th, at the latest, you should look over the assignments and due
    dates for next week, and email your instructor with any questions.
