Audience and Purpose

The audience for this project will be the general public (as found in many newspapers) yet designed specifically for a younger audience. This project is designed to entertain as well as inform readers about a specific topic. As noted in The Daily Tribune, the Mini Page is an on-going series. Therefore, the intent of this project is to create a page similar in concept, yet based around biology. I hope this project becomes a series in which BEST students contribute each year.

3-panel argument poster and oral presentation

For these assignments, you will create a poster that represents your topic for Essay 3 (argument essay) and the specific position you argue there. You should use both visual and written information to give the class (your audience) a clear idea of the topic you are dealing with and the specific point you are making about it.

Subject: Project 3: Job Talk Project Description and Information Sheet

For all our attention to résumés and cover letters, we realize that they serve one major purpose: Getting an interview. The interview is the most important part of the job hunt, because it is your opportunity to find out whether the job and organization is right for you, and serves as an opportunity for potential employers to assess if you are right for them.
