Assignment preparation task 1: Selecting messages
For this module’s assignment, you are asked to put together a portfolio of writing samples to send to your tutor. The assignment is meant to be flexible so that you can focus on the kind of writing that you do most frequently or that you would most like practice with. In the portfolio, you have been asked to include four of the following items:
- a memo, circular or minute sheet
- a letter
- an email
- a meeting record - which includes minutes, a note for the file, report or summary note/record
You can choose to submit two of a single type of writing for your portfolio. For example, two emails, one letter, and a set of minutes would be an appropriate combination as would two letters, one email, and one memo.
As you work through this module, it is a good idea to select some writing samples for your assignment. It is best if you can select something that you are working on in your job.
