      This is a good comparable site to part of our team writing text. Several factors like editing and proofreading relate more to the details in part 2 chapter 6 in revising team member's work. In relation to part one it does express organization from the beginning and accountability. We have to set deadlines and brainstorm how to structure collaboration for this assignment.
  • Team writing makes invention strategies public and explicit (brainstorming, listing, outlining). Team writing encourages multiple perspectives and multiple drafts. Team writing demands revision, analysis of revision strategies, and makes revision public and explicit. Team writing focuses on the presentation of the final product, encouraging editing and proofreading. Team writing allows writers to recognize differences in style, tone, organization among different writers. Team writing forces writers to reflect on their own and others' strengths, weaknesses, and individual styles and processes of writing. Team writing demands analysis of rhetorical and stylistic choices.
  • FACTORS in SUCCESSFUL TEAM WRITING the degree to which goals are clearly articulated and shared the degree of openness and mutual respect among group members the degree of control writers have over the text the degree to which writers can respond to others who may modify the text the way credit (directly or indirectly) is given an agreed-upon procedure for responding to work in process and for revising/editing

  • Set deadlines for drafts; devote one whole team meeting to responses/revision of drafts. Develop, as a team, a series of questions for each reader to ask about other writers' drafts; decide, as a team, what you want to look for in each writer's draft Before distributing drafts to the team, each writer should provide a cover letter with the draft, explaining what she/he tried to accomplish, pointing out strengths/weaknesses, and asking readers specific questions about problem areas. Write back to each writer and be prepared to discuss your responses. Provide both positive and negative feedback to writers. Be descriptive, pointing to particular sections or sentences, providing suggestions for revision and explanations of those changes.
  • As the team projects progress, ask students to monitor their progress in writing, by submitting weekly minutes, for example.
  • PLANS FOR COMPLETION What tasks are left to do? How have you divided/assigned them? What do you still need to find? Do you have enough/too much material for your presentation? TEAM PROCESS Describe the way your team is working together. How have you organized the work? Division of tasks? Lead writer? Lead researcher? Lead presenter? Any problems in the team process?

    This is my favorite online writing resource by far. Purdue created an interactive module that you can go through to learn several different formats of writing. This covers APA, MLA, and CMS styles of writing and also has numerous tutorials on general writing, teaching, research, job search writing and more. The module that most concerns our project is the Visual Rhetoric module. It gives ideas on how to apply colors, visuals, fonts, and designs to incorporate into displays.

    I found this site on how to write instructions in 7 easy steps to be very simple and helpful. The first to writing instructions according to this site is to take a step back and write as though the people have zero knowledge of the subject. It wants you to know exactly what your trying to teach/get across without putting too much or too little info. After this creating an outline is a good idea before just starting your project with no plan. The next two steps according to this site are to make your instructions easy to understand and make them brief as well. Lastly they suggest the use of visual aids, such as videos or diagrams, and to give it a test drive to get out any kinks.

    This website gives instructions about how to write the basic five- paragraph essay. It starts off with telling the reader/writer what the introduction should do and that is to tell the readers what the essay will be about. Then it goes on to discuss paragraph 2, 3, and 4, which is the body paragraphs which supports the topics of each paragraph. Finally it tell you about the conclusion and what it does. It also gives additional tips for writing a good essay
