Title: Assignment #2 Understanding new genres through research
Course: KVCC ENG219 > Section: Assignments

The purpose of this assignment is to help develop meaningful and useful ways of approaching writing in new genres, which is common in the workplace where idiosyncratic and business-specific genres often prevail over the more familiar genres taught in Business and Professional Writing courses.

Research Task:

Conduct an internet search for examples of “fact sheets.”

Provide examples with an accompanying analysis/explanation of an effective fact sheet and an ineffective sheet and share on the Discussion Forum Class Discussion Part#3 "Fact Sheet Analysis".

Writing Task:

Now that you have researched and shared a good and bad example of this genre, compile a “style guide” or set of guidelines for writing effective fact sheets.

You may, for example, use a “10 Commandments of Fact Sheet Writing" format.  Post this writing task in the Discussion Forum Class Discussion Part #3 "Fact Sheet Analysis".
