Final Project

My audience is mainly people who work in offices and schools that are interacting with people who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. I think that everyone can benefit from my memo but I tailored it to people who are working with and hiring people who they do not know their entire background.

My purpose is to share the information that I learned to express to others that we do not know the whole story, no matter how much we think we do. This project really opened my eyes to what I did not actually know.

I created a memo because it is a short and easy way to spread information. It can be forwarded in emails, posted on bulletin boards, ect. I felt that it would be the most productive way to spread the information to my intended audience and everyone else who might be interested.

Instructions for submitting your final work

With the end of the summer term quickly approaching, you’ve got some key deadlines this week. Read on for instructions and deadline info.

First off, if you have any missing assignments, you can submit those through the end of the day on Friday, 8/27. I cannot accept any work after that time. We’re headed directly into the fall semester, so it’s essential that we get this summer term wrapped up on time.

Now, for the week’s main events:

Research project

Final projects will be due by the end of the day on Wednesday, 8/25. Please post your project to the blog, and be sure to do the following:

  • if your project takes the form of anything other than a blog post (for which you could use Expressions to build your document), please insert your project into the post as a universally usable file (i.e. PDF) or link. Use the “+” button on your post to do this (scroll down to the Media section and choose “File”).
  • in the body of your post, include a brief outline of the rhetorical situation for your text–the audience, purpose, mode of delivery/publication, etc. (Remember that you have full control over this and can create whatever hypothetical situation you desire.)
  • categorize your post as “Taking it public,” and tag it with “final project,” “unit3,” “weekof8/23,” and [your name].

Course reflection

Your Unit 3/final course reflection will be due by the end of the day on Friday, 8/27. Please refer to theĀ unit 3 assignment sheet for the prompt for this 500-word post. Please note:

  • this should read like an essay (not just a Q&A)
  • you should categorize this post as “Taking it public,” and tag it with “weekof8/23,” “reflection,” “unit3,” and [your name].

Thanks for all your hard work this summer. You’ve been great colleagues to one another–engaged and supportive. I know this next few weeks will be busy, but I hope you will check back in to review one another’s projects. You’ve all done some great work, and it’s been really rewarding to see you share your ideas with one another.
