Paper

no ai/no plagarism Assessment Preparation Before you begin, take a few steps to set yourself up for success. Pick your format (narrative or email). For your Week 5 summative assessment, you will write one of the following: A personal narrative: This is a short story about a meaningful experience, decision, or lesson you have learned. A professional email: This is a message for you to request something, propose an idea, or share important information. Choose a topic that fits you. Think of something real or realistic for your life or work. Pick a topic that matters to youit will be easier (and more interesting) to write about! Here are a couple examples: Narrative: A time you overcame a challenge, made a big decision, helped someone, or learned something important Email: A time you asked for a schedule change, proposed a new idea, requested help with a project, or advocated for a solution at work Think about structure and support. Before you start your outline, take a few moments to map out your message. Use the following questions to guide your planning: Whats your main message or takeaway? What are the key points you will need to include to support it? What examples or details will help make those points clear? What order will make the most sense for your audience and purpose? Theres no single right way to organize writing, but strong writing is intentional. Use your knowledge of audience, purpose, and context to help shape your structure. Assessment Deliverable Create a document that includes the following 2 parts: The outline needs to be in outline format with main points and subpoints. Do not submit a description of the points for your paper in paragraph format. Part 1: Your Outline This is your writing road map. Consider the format you will use for your final project (e.g., personal narrative or professional email), then outline your plan using bullet points, numbers, or another style that keeps your ideas organized. Your outline should include: A working thesis/central message. What are you trying to communicate overall? Main points. What are the primary ideas that help communicate your thesis/central message? Supporting details. What details, facts, or evidence provide more information about your main points? Organization. Use a clear, logical structure that supports the writing purpose, audience, and situation. Tip: Use complete thoughts or sentences in your outline so your instructor can see where youre headed and offer meaningful feedback. The clearer your ideas are now, the more helpful that feedback will be and the more prepared you will feel when its time to complete your summative assessment in Week 5. Notes: You can use the Outline Template to help you get started if needed. I strongly suggest using the template. Check out Constructing a Formal Outline on p 64 of your textbook. The checklist and examples can help you shape your ideas clearly and stay organized as you plan. Part 2: A Short Rationale (260350 words) After you create your outline, write a short explanation of the choices you made. Think of this as a reflection on the writing decisions you made. Use the following questions to guide your thinking: Reflect on organization. How does your outline support your purpose, audience, and context? (What message are you trying to send, who are you writing to, and whats the situation?) Why did you organize your points in this order? (Explain your choices about what main point or supporting details come first, what you grouped together, and what you saved for the end.) Reflect on growth. What felt natural about organizing your ideas this way? What part of the outline took more time, thought, or revision? Tip: Youre not just planning, youre practicing. The thinking you do in this rationale will help you when its time to revise your draft later. The more you understand your choices, the easier it will be to improve them.
