Blog Assignment : Rick McKeel

Overview: We are learning how to identify rhetorical featuresof communication genre because once you hone the skill of examining communication at the micro level to identify its elements, you can transfer this skill to any form of communication and master it.

We are also learning about the communication practices that businesses engage in- this assignment is designed to help you accomplish both these aims.

You will write a blog post about a business communication topic assigned to you.

Basic Instructions:

The audience for posts are your peers in the School of Business; the purpose is to provide useful information on professional development and career advice on our class blog.

Consult (and link to) at least 5 sources from which you get your expertise.

Use an informal, yet professional, tone.

Conform to conventions of grammar and mechanics. (Don't forget about the Fatal Error Policy-more than 4 issues on a page will result in a 6 point deduction and your work bounced back to you to address these issues within 48 hours.)

Design blog posts that are succinct and clear by including these features:

? Make sure you include a title with a numeral and keywords to snag browsers

? Provide graphics/images for visual appeal; choose those that support your meaning

? List important points in concise, parallel form for readability

? Conclude with advice ("call to action"; asks readers to either believe or act differently)

? Ask readers for their take (i.e. ask readers to comment)

? Provide links to additional resources on the topic

? Cite graphics you don't create with a link to the original

? Make the length as long as it needs to be to include substantive, value-added information but no longer.
