Formal newsletter

Write to colleagues at your present job or a future job in your field of study to explain why strong writing skills are important to their career development and why mastering one specific writing skill you have developed or improved throughout the course will be of value to them. You may use no more than two sources from PG Library or Writing Center to help support your ideas and help educate your audience about this topic. When you use information from these sources, they must be paraphrased and cited in-text.

You may choose to communicate your ideas in one of two ways:

1. Write a 3- to 4-paragraph company newsletter.
2. Be sure that the final revised, edited, and proofread version of your Unit 9 Assignment:
3. Explains three reasons why strong writing skills are important to one specific career field.

5. Discusses why this particular skill is of value to the audience.
6. Includes briefly summarized information from one or two reliable and relevant sources to support your recommendation.
7. Uses current APA format, citing source(s) in-text and in a References list at the end of the newsletter or presentation.
