For this week's assignment, we'll put into practice our email and memo writing skills. In a word document, you will complete the following:

Step 1:

Persuasive Message

Using the strategies you've learned about persuasion and argumentation from the Chapter 5 readings, make a mock email message to your instructor requesting an extension on a due date for the presentation project. make this email as you would any other formal email--with a greeting and closing/name. Be sure to use logic and support your position with evidence.

Step 2:

Policy Memo

Your email worked. The professor has extended the deadline for the whole class!

Develop and make a mock policy memo to classmates about the extension. Include information in your policy about the extended deadline, and be sure to remind your classmates to turn the assignment in as an attachment in the dropbox for the assignment. make this in the same word document as your mock email in Step 1 above.
