• Taking the planning structure discussed in Chapter 3 in Business Writing Today:
  • Decide on the best content to discuss the problems, solutions, audience, and call to action needed for your proposal.
  • Consider how to organize the beginning and middle, to make it end with action from your audience.
  • For your discussion post, share some of your problems, solutions, or your call to action.
    • Show how you will organize them by adding your draft outline to your discussion post.
• Review strategic communications outlines from at least two of your peers. Provide feedback.
  • Don't be afraid to challenge their assumptions, suggest new possibilities, and affirm their choices when those choices are good.

• Note: Remember, feedback is a powerful and essential tool. Thoughtful, useful feedback is specific. It combines suggestions for improvement with the recognition of good ideas. When you offer feedback, you should contribute new ideas and new perspectives to help your peers learn and move forward.
