Generate some ideas for a situation or scenario that would require professional written communication. Consider (and feel free to use &/or modify) the following examples:

• Request a letter of release from current coach
• Request a letter of recommendation from current supervisor
• Cover letter for your resume/application package
• Cover letter (or executive summary) for a formal report, such as the upcoming group reports

Again, feel free to modify any of these or create (or re-create) a scenario of your own.

DELIVERABLE:

Prepare a written description of the design process, including some components of the 8-step model of communication as well as the twelve steps for written communication. NOTE: You do NOT have to prepare all 20 of these components. Touch on the ones you feel is most important to your scenario. I am looking for application of concepts here, including critical thinking, in the preparation of your response. (This reflection exists on a few different levels. Beyond simply saying "critical thing is important for effective communication..." I want you to demonstrate critical thinking in the preparation of your response.)

Expectations:

• no less than 3 paragraphs
• no paragraph with fewer than 5 sentences
• no paragraph with fewer than 70 words
• clear content, purpose, and structure
• attention to syntax, grammar, etc.
• no attachments

TO BE CLEAR: You are NOT producing the actual document. You are documenting your thought process about planning the document.
