For your first response, locate online a report in your field (e.g. a police report if your focus is criminal justice, an annual financial report if your focus is accounting, discharge papers or a lab report if your focus is health sciences, etc.). Include the link in your post and write a brief statement that: Identifies the purpose of the document Identifies any primary and secondary audiences for the document Discusses how the document is useful to those audiences in terms of its content, organization, and use of language (including clarity and conciseness of message) Discusses how the document’s usefulness to those audiences may be improved. For your second response, review all of the reports shared in the thread. Write a brief statement that: Identifies common elements observed in all of the reports Discusses which report you think is most effective in conveying the intended message to its target audience and why Discusses how the design of the reports may create or limit opportunities for the writer’s interpretation (for example, does the report use check boxes, form fields, or comment spaces that allow for narratives) and why that might be important.
