What Is Technical Writing?: Explore Micron's Writing in the Workplace. How would you define "Technical Writing"? Give examples of technical writing that you have done at work or school. (Hint: I know you all have done at least one type of technical writing in school. This format is described in the text.) Multiple Audiences: Woolever mentions multiple audiences throughout the text. Different audiences have different needs and expectations. Writers need to adjust to this differences. Who are some different audiences you write to now, either at school or work? (If you can't think of any writing you have done to multiple audiences, consider your final project for this class.) How do/will you write to these multiple audiences within a single document? Web Page Review: Now that you have created a simple web page, what will you do differently next time? Were there any particular problems you had? Are there new elements you would like to add to your next page? Did you see anything on other students' pages that you especially like or thought effective? Punctuation Review: Read The Quick and Easy Comma Guide and Paradigm: Punctuation. (You don't need to read the "Comma" section of Paradigm: Punctuation, but read everything else.) Consider your own writing style and skill level. Write a brief description of what writing and grammar problems you have now and how you will fix these problems. Design and Layout Review: Explore Andrew Mundi's Principals of Graphic Design. This interactive tutorial is a good introduction to design theory and demonstrates excellent web design as well. Then look over the Newbie Technical Writing Tools page. Briefly describe the design techniques and the tools you will use (or have used) for your final project. Remember that along with your written report, you will present a visual representation of your project to the class. (I have added tutorials for several layout and design tools on the Web Resources for Technical Writing page. Feel free to refer to these as you begin production of your project.) Intellectual Property Law Review: Read An Intellectual Property Law Primer for Multimedia and Web Developers. (It works for writers too.) The article is dry and long, but it's the best overview I've found in print or on-line. Consider the materials you plan on using (or have used) for your final project. Will your paper and presentation be legal? Why do you think so? Briefly respond to these questions. (Hint: Think "Fair Use".)
