Jan. 24

We reviewed memos turned in last week, discussed tone in business writing (keep a copy of this hand-out; it's a good one), and filled out the Worksheet for Defining Objectives from page 92, Figure 3.5 on the subject of writing the proposal.

Groups are formalized. You should know who is in your group and have a rough idea of your project concept. Post a list of links to your teammates' blogs on your blog homepage using the widgets provided by Blogger.

We analyzed rhetoric of some commercials.

Assignments
Memo on your team selection and work so far.
Read Ch. 16 (creating communications with a team) and Ch. 23 (writing instructions)
Blog post - analyze the tone in a piece of writing someone sent to you.

Next week we'll have group conferences on your project concepts.
