Written Communication

This chapter has helped me recognize that I can strengthen my written communication in the following ways:

• I will write more effective and make sure to include plenty of details in my sentences.
• I will not use wordy expressions as much and try to keep the sentences concise.
• When I am righting a letter, I will determine what the goal of it is and make sure the format matches the goal.
• I will start to use more positive expressions and try to use less negative expressions.
• I also realize that I need to gather and organize the appropriate information.
• Once I have a finished copy of the letter, I need to make sure I set it down and come back to later to proofread it.
• When writing a letter, I need to determine if I need to be direct, indirect, or persuasive to be the most effective.
