ANALYSIS: CONVERSION OF
RECOMMENDATION REPORT to POWER POINT PRESENTATION                                              (HOME)

ENGL 410-001: Technical and Report Writing Spring 2007
George Mason University
Scott Berg, Instructor


This paper should be around 850-900 words (let's officially say at least 750 and no more than 1000) and should be written directly to me.  (You may even address it to me if you want.)  Clearly and concisely "talk your way through" the process of adapting your recommendation report into the form of a Power Point presentation.  Focus on the decisions you made, why you made those decisions, and even, perhaps, how you made those decisions.  How did the change of purpose and audience figure into your choices?  How did the class discussion of Power Point as a communications tool figure into your choices?  The more you focus on yourself thinking as a writer--someone who had to adjust to two different writing situations--the closer you'll be to the letter and spirit of this assignment.

You don't have to write this paper in business block style, but you may if you'd wish.

This paper is due on May 8 with the rest of your final course materials.
