Today’s beginning of class writing will be very brief, because we want to spend more time on peer reviewing your Project 1 documents and LinkedIn.com Profiles. Your response for this writing assignment includes two parts.
First, imagine that you work for the magazine that you read for today’s class, and you’ve been tasked with announcing the article that you read on the magazine’s official Twitter feed.
Write a memo addressed to a co-worker with a subject of “Summary of Magazine Article for Official Twitter Announcement.” Briefly explain in once sentence that the following copy (i.e., writing) may be used on the magazine’s official Twitter feed.
Begin a new paragraph and write no more than 140 characters summarizing the article. This limitation actually opens new opportunities for how you think and write. Instead of being too verbose, you have to focus what you say with a laser-like intensity. Include at least one hashtag, or metadata related to the content of the article. Conclude your tweet with a link to the magazine’s website, which will not count toward your 140 characters. Use Word’s word count feature under the Review tab in the Ribbon to carefully check your character use.
Finally, write an APA bibliographic entry for the article that you read for today’s class. Your APA bibliographic entry does not count toward your tweet’s character count.
Copy-and-paste your memo into a comment made to this blog post.
