Within this ePortfolio you will find my projects for English 470. The projects you will find are my: Correspondence (including my Persuasive Letter and Bad News Letter), brochure, press release, and formal report. This semester I have learned how to properly write in genres commonly found in the professional world such as business, government, and media. I have also learned how to create professional documents such as memos, reports, and letters. This class has also helped me refine my writing abilities in regards to being clear, concise, and grammatically correct. I have honed my oral communication skills through the multiple presentations I have given this semester. I have also refined my collaborative abilities through working with several different people in the class to create various documents. I will transfer these skills into post graduation contexts such as writing memos for real jobs, writing letters to actual government officials, giving presentations in a job setting, and creating reports for my job. I have already begun to write a professional letter regarding the situation in Hong Kong to my senator and congress representative.
