Week 4 Discussion - Question 1

Q This discussion board is completed in conjunction with BA 330 ASSIGNMENT #4: Routine Message + Writing Collaboratively Step #1 • Independently rewrite a draft of the same email by the due date – Friday, September 25 – and post it in this discussion group board. • We will be using the email on page 118 in the textbook (4th edition). See the attached document. The goal is to revise the message to create one that is more clear, concise and direct. The priorities are the creation of an effective subject line and placement of the most important information at the top of the message. Step #2 – Week 4 Discussion #1 • In your discussion group compare the emails from each member of your group and identify key differences and similarities. • Are they organized differently? Do they have different tones? Do they use different writing styles? • Based on your understanding of each other's writing styles determine what agreements you would make if you were working as a team on a larger collaborative project. • Use the content in the collaboration feature on page 87 (4th edition) as a guide. • Analyzing: Make Joint Decisions Agree on the purpose and outcome of the project, and spend time collectively defining the audience and their needs. Identify team members’ skills and roles. Determine the best medium to share drafts and feedback. Agree on important elements of writing style. • Composing: Coordinate the Writing Responsibilities (larger project) Develop an outline together and then assign each person a section. Maintain consistent communication, and share drafts frequently. • Evaluating: Plan an Effective Review/Revision Process Create a consistent voice and flow throughout the document. Involve each team member in the evaluation process, and determine an effective process for sharing feedback. Step #3 • Submit your independent email revision as a Word document to Canvas (1 page) – this is Assignment #4. o Use a common for the salutation (Darryl,) as you are familiar with each other. o Part 2 should be a paragraph of 150-200 words that summarizes the group’s discussion/decisions based on the guidelines. o Include name and section # on the Word document.

To: darryl.mcpherson@FortuneDesigns.com Subject: Regarding a flight booking from Newark Darryl, I had to dismiss my plan to take flight at 2 PM because of the unavailability of the seats. I would like to attend my staff meeting at 3 PM. But the later flights at 7 PM and 9:30 from JFK are very expensive. In addition to that, the traffic snarl at JFK is very awful which I can guarantee from my last experience.
