TC Chapter 8: Drafting Reader-Centered Paragraphs, Sections, and Chapters
During the first ten minutes of today’s class, write a summary of Anderson’s TC Chapter 8: Drafting Reader-Centered Paragraphs, Sections, and Chapters.

One thing that I have noticed few people doing is that your memo should begin with the word “Memo” or “Memorandum” at the top of the page (normally this is centered but in a comment box you cannot add that kind of formatting, which is okay). Then, you give your from, to, subject, date block followed by your summary.
