Week 6

By Monday, July 14, at 11:59 PM

• Read Thomson Handbook Chapters 24 and 37. Take these principles into account as you are producing your documents because Thursday's reading response asks you to comment on them in relation to your draft. Also remember the principles of concision and design as you work.
• If you have chosen to revise your employment project, please submit it (as a .pdf attachment) to your blog (tagged with Employment Revision) no later than 11:59 PM. Note that you only need to include whatever is being revised. For instance, if you are only revising the resume, then only submit the resume. Nothing is needed other than the revised document(s)--no job ad (unless you failed to submit it the first time and I need it), no job ad analysis, and no project assessment. So, you should only be submitting:
  • Nothing (you have decided not to revise)
  • Your newly revised job application letter (you have chosen not to revise the resume).
  • Your newly revised resume (you have chosen not to revise the letter).
  • Your newly revised letter and resume (and nothing else--unless, as mentioned, I have requested your job ad).

• Work on draft with group members.

By Wednesday, July 16, at 11:59 PM

• Service Learning Project Step 4: Draft Due. Post the project draft to a blog in the "Service Learning Draft 1" category.
Remember that the draft must be posted in a format that everyone can access. You can export to .pdf or an image format such as .jpg. There is also a 5mb file upload limit on the site, which is more than enough, but it is something to keep in mind.

• Read Thomson Handbook Chapter 24 and 37 by today.

Reading Response

• Consider your draft of the project. In a reading response, explain how the principles of variety, conciseness, audience, and design are shaping your draft. Reference specifics in your document in your reading response.
• Read and comment on your group member responses.

• Don't forget to do the work blogs and activity reports for this week.
• Check out Week 7. No later than today, you should read through the course calendar for the following week. Make sure that you understand all of the assignments. If you have any questions, email me.
