Reference no: EM131922448

Question: In the first two units, you have identified aspects of effective communication and contemplated strategies for solving a problem in your community or workplace. Consider the following situations:

• A casual conversation with a friend about the need for sidewalks in your neighborhood so kids can get to school safely

• An email to your boss proposing a new safety procedure

• An academic persuasive essay about your community's need for a free spay/neuter program

In all of these situations, you need to choose the most effective tone, voice, and style for your situation and audience in order to persuade others to agree with you.

In this unit's Assignment, you will be creating a plan for success to improve your writing in personal, professional, and academic situations like those described above and proposing a topic that you can write about for the rest of the term.

The first paragraph should identify at least three aspects of your writing you wish to improve and answer the following questions: How have these issues, whether related to grammar, style, tone, or process, affected your ability to communicate effectively in the past? How do you plan to work on these issues?

In the second paragraph, describe a problem in your community or workplace that you would like to explore and solve in the upcoming units. What challenges might you face in solving this problem and writing a persuasive essay about it?
