Class members will work together often this semester.

To help everyone become acquainted, your task is to introduce to the class the person seated next to you.

(That person, in turn, will introduce you.) Follow this procedure:

a. Exchange with your neighbor whatever personal information you think the class needs: background, major, career plans, communication needs of your intended profession, and so on. Each person gets five minutes to tell her or his story.

b. Take careful notes; ask questions if you need to.

c. Take your notes home and select only the information you think the class will find usefu l.

d. Prepare a one-page memo telling your classmates who this person is. (See Chapter 14 for memo elements and format.)

e. Ask your neighbor to review the memo for accuracy;

revise as needed.

f. Present the class with a two-minute oral paraphrase of your memo, and submit a cop)' of the memo to your instructor.
