Why is this a required assignment?

 

* I hope my students come to understand that reporting information (and language skills as a

 

whole) is not confined to the English class. When you are in other classes, no matter the

 

discipline, you will need to have a good grasp on reporting information. Also, when you are in the

 

career of your choosing you will need to be able to relay information in an easy to understand and

 

professional manner.

 

Guidance:

 

1. Read your paper aloud as frequently as you can, or have someone else read it to you.

 

Reading aloud forces you to pay close attention to what your paper says and you are more

 

likely to spot or hear problems when reading aloud.

 

2. Address your audience appropriately. You neither want to go over your audiences head or

 

speak down to them. You must find the sweet spot where your audience feels that you are

 

informing them but not calling them ignorant.

 

3. Be clear about your purpose. Are you providing new information on a known topic,

 

clearing up a misconception, introducing the audience to something new, or arguing for a

 

new way to consider your topic?

 

4. Consider the larger context. How does this topic fit into the world around it? How does

 

knowledge about this topic help your audience understand the rest of their world?
