Complete the following activities:

1. Produce a draft of the newsletter.
This part of the assessment task requires you to develop the first draft of your newsletter. Use the Newsletter Template, the Newsletter Example, and the Burleigh Style Guide to guide your formatting choices.

When you have completed the first draft of your newsletter, save the draft according to the naming conventions documented in the Style Guide and in the required folder. Note that you will be required to submit a screen shot of the final folder and files. The files should show all versions of the newsletter from first draft to final.

2. Print out a copy of the Document Checklist and fill out the right-hand column in pen or pencil.
When you have completed this, review your first draft of the newsletter against the document checklist, consulting the Burleigh Accountant's Style Guide to ensure that you have met all the Style Guide requirements.

3. Produce a second draft of the newsletter.
Edit your first draft of the newsletter, drawing on insights gained during your review.
Save this updated version (second draft) of your newsletter in the relevant folder.

4. Send an email to your Office Manager (your assessor).
The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style.
The text of the email should summarise what is in the attachments.

Attach both drafts of the newsletter to the email.
Provide the hard copy of your marked-up checklist to your assessor at this time also.

5. Participate in a meeting with the Office Manager (your assessor).
During the meeting, you are required to demonstrate effective communication skills as follows:
• Use of appropriate style (formal), tone (encouraging, respectful) and vocabulary (professional, business language) for the meeting
• Speaking clearly and concisely
• Using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
• Asking questions to identify required information
• Responding to questions as required
• Using active listening techniques to confirm understanding

At the meeting, your Manger will also provide you with some additional information about design requirements, which you must follow when developing your newsletter.

Your assessor will observe you while you edit your newsletter to ensure that you can:
• Change column and font colours within the newsletter
• Correctly use your phone or iPad to import a photo into the newsletter.
• Use the help menu to assist with completion of tasks. This will involve showing your assessor that you know how to access the help menu and how to seek assistance about a topic to be advised by your assessor.

During the meeting, demonstrate to your assessor that you can complete the task, as well as explain what you are doing.
At the conclusion of the meeting, your Office Manager will provide you with a timeline for the final draft to be completed. It is an important part of this assessment that you able to produce this within the given time.

6. When your meeting has been concluded, develop a third draft of your newsletter, ensuring that it incorporates any changes that your assessor may have suggested. Save this version of the file to the folder with the other versions.

7. Print a copy of your third draft.
Print the document out according to conservation requirements.
Proofread the printed document, marking the pages with pencil or pen to indicate changes that you would like to make. You should find at least one change (wider columns? More centred on the page?) that you wish to make to each page.
You are to give this marked-up hard copy to your assessor when completing activity 10.
