For the collaborative project, my group was assigned "Memos, Letters and Emails. My task was to research how to write and format a correct email, and then create a series of powerpoint slides to explain to the class exactly how to write one. So what I did for this was I took what I already knew about emails (seeing as almost everyone I know has written at least one email in their lifetime. Then, I took what I knew, researched formatting techniques and applied them to my presentation. I found that a lot of the information was "common sense" for lack of a better term. For example, it's not proper to write an entire email in capital letters, unless the title is something like "URGENT" or "NOTICE" but usually those involve scamming emails.
I ended up having about 7 slides worth of material that was divided into sections so I could easily explain each in my presentation. I also included images/graphics and some bolded terms to try to focus in on the importance of it. I feel like I covered most of the formal email section.
Good common sense example here. What were some others you learned? Was there anything new you didn't already know? Try to be specific in your posts.
