Preparing for your first assignment

As you work through this module, you will need to have some of your own writing to refer to. Before you go further, please select three documents you have written. They could be short reports, substantive emails or some other document you produce in the course of daily work. As you work through the module, you will be referring to these documents for examples. You may refer to more than three documents if you wish.

The documents should be written in paragraphs, rather than in point or table form. They will be most useful if they are at least four-six paragraphs long. Your analysis of these documents will form the basis for your Module 1 assignment.

Throughout this module, you will find activities entitled “Portfolio preparation.” As you complete the activities you will build a portfolio of examples and analysis. This portfolio will form the basis for Part A and Part B of your Module 1 assignment. Preparing your portfolio will also help you focus on your goals for the second module of the course.
