EdwardM Writing Progress and Status Memos
Status Memos and Writing progress are two different concepts but very easily can be combined into one single piece of information. A status memo is usually an informal letter written to your colleague, boss, or superior. It is a way of showing the progress that you have made on achieving a certain goal that you were either assigned or have taken on yourself. It allows you to lay out everything step by step and in detail to give a breakdown of all aspects of your project.
Your writing progress is the improvement that you personally make as a writer. This is a very grey subject matter, whenever your writing is being observed you must take the observer into account just as much as the actual article. Everyone has a different view of what is good writing and what is bad. All that you can do to improve your writing is to read other peoples writings and to personally write as much as possible.
So how I planned on combining these two topics was by showing how you can make a status memo to yourself on your writing progress. If you lay out what you need to improve on and stating what you feel you already have improved on, it will make it easier for you to attack certain areas of your writing and perfect those aspects one at a time.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, i really liked the video
ReplyDeleteGood job picking that video, the presenter seems very confident and knows what she's talking about. Your article has important information in it like "whenever your writing is being observed you must take the observer into account just as much as the actual article. Everyone has a different view of what is good writing and what is bad." That's very true, and very important for people to remember. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I connected the text to the video. I thought your subject was supposed to be on status and progress reports. The video didn't cover that. I did like the video and maybe you should have summarized that rather than tried to write on progress and status reports. Do you know what status and progress reports look like? In the next post, use spaces between paragraphs.
