Q1. This week’s major assignment is an outline of a longer report (Exercise 6 from Chapter 15). Exercise 6: Write a report outline for the problem you selected in Exercise 5. Use major headings. Include a cover letter with your outline. For your reference, Exercise 5 is: Prepare to discuss a major community problem suitable for a long report (e.g., traffic, crime, air and water pollution, housing, transportation). Then write a letter to an appropriate agency or business requesting a study of the problem and a report. You may also continue to write about the topic you developed in week 5, even if it is not directly related to those listed. Use Exercise 5 to determine a major community problem that you will create your outline and then report (for Week 7) and presentation (for Week 8). For this week’s discussion forum, you will present ideas for possible topics. Each post should list 3-5 ideas with a 1-2 sentence rationale for the ideas.
Q2. Write a report outline for the problem you selected in Exercise 5. Use major headings. Include a cover letter with your outline. The cover letter can also be a letter of transmittal (example on page 600). Choose the format that best fits your own goals. Aim for a deliverable length of at least 500 words for the total (cover letter and outline) assignment. Reference exercise 5 in the chapter or in the brainstorming forum. Make sure you pick a topic that makes sense for your own professional goals and trajectory. All assignments should follow APA 7th edition.
