Step one: Read the assignments about email formats and setting word. (The word link on the syllabus is broken. The correct URL is <http://www1bpt.bridgeport.edu/~jconlin/SettingUpWord.pdf>.) Follow the instructions for both. Once you complete step one, go to step two.
Step two: At this point, if you have been paying attention to the syllabus, you should have read the assignments on Search Engines and Internet Marketing twice. Presuming you have done this, write down the points that you remember from Search Engines and Internet Marketing. As I mentioned in class yesterday, this information has significance to you--unless of course you are remembering only the fundamentals because you have yet to read the articles twice.
(All four readings are available on BlackBoard.)
Step three: Read Search Engines and Internet Marketing again. Take notes. Try to understand the significance of the points that you remember. Shape these points into a single idea that you want to show by paraphrasing the key points of the essays.
Step four: Break down the essay you will read into a beginning (first 75 words [10%]) and background (75 words [10%]only if necessary to the reader).
Now figure out the middle section, the longest and usually most difficult for any writer (500-550 words or 70%): first idea (what is the first point that needs to be true for your beginning to be valid), second point (now that the first point is true, what next is true), and so on.
Finally your conclusion (10% or 75 words in this case), which takes the reader beyond the point you are making.
Step five: Write.
Step six: Revise.
Step seven: Copy and paste the work into an email (not attachment). Make sure it appears in the format discussed. Make sure you have a subject line that makes sense to the reader.
Step eight: Send by 11:59 on Monday evening.
Done.
