Course
Outline
Introduction and
Course Overview
You will spend the first part of the day getting to know
participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop.
Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal
learning objectives.
The Three C’s
All writing should be clear, concise, and correct. We will look at
these three elements in detail during this session and practice each of
them.
Grammar and Writing Mechanics
This session will outline seven easy ways to help participants
simplify their writing and ensure their grammar is correct. Participants
will also take a close look at the proper length of paragraphs, what a
paragraph should contain, and how to order paragraphs.
Determining Readability
During this session, you will help participants use the readability
test (also called the Gunning Fog Index) on their own work.
Writing Letters
There are twelve important parts to a business letter, and several
different styles. We will examine all of these closely. We will also
look at the proper way of folding a letter and placing it into an
envelope.
Dealing with Specific Requests
Often people are asked to respond to a request for information or to
write a particular letter (of recommendation, for example). We’ll
discuss some tips to keep in mind when writing one of these particular
documents.
E-mail Etiquette
These days, e-mail has become a universal method of communication.
However, there are many questions of etiquette and few answers. This
session will discuss some common dilemmas and our recommended answers.
Business Documents
Another common task is to write a business case, request for
proposal, or a formal report. Where would you start? We will provide
some guidelines and checklists that will help with these tasks.
Workshop Wrap-Up
At the end of the day, students will have an opportunity to ask
questions and fill out an action plan.
