MEMO CONVENTIONS DATE: The full date with the month spelled out TO: The name of the person to whom you’re sending the memo FROM: Your name (often with hand-written initials after your name) SUBJECT: A TITLE THAT SUMMARIZES CONTENT If you are new to memo-writing, the following guidelines should give you a quick overview of the basic format conventions from the general set-up and spacing to the use of headings and bullets. Basic Format Conventions Let me begin by reviewing some basic points about spacing alignment, and subject lines. Spacing. Remember to single-space within paragraphs and double-space between them. (See this page as an example.) You should try to keep a memo as concise as possible. If it’s more than one page long, it will generally use headings. (Please see the next section for more information on headings.) Alignment. Memos often use a fully blocked style where paragraphs begin flush left (as they do in this memo.) You will also notice alignment details at the top of the memo. The top of the memo typically has four items (just like the top of this page): 1. 2. 3. 4. The date The name of the person you are writing Your name The subject At the top of this page, notice how tabs line up the information that goes opposite each of these four points. Subject Lines. The subject needs to be a concise summary of the main idea. The subject line is often put in boldface font to help it stand out. It typically uses title case (i.e., initial caps for all major words). Using Headings to Highlight and Organize Ideas Notice how headings (and underlined sub-headings in the previous section) help highlight and organize the information in this memo. You might also notice how the memo begins with an overview of main ideas and the organization of the whole text so that readers know what to expect as they read on. Each major section (marked by a heading) also tends to give a quick introductory statement before moving to bulleted lists or sub-headings. Additional Memo Guidelines Here are a few more conventions of the memo genre that you might find helpful. In this section, you might notice how bullets help identify and emphasize brief points. ● When organizing your memo, start with what’s most important to readers and move to less important information; ● Use descriptive headings, paragraph breaks, strategic bullet lists, and graphics (if appropriate) to help readers move through your text quickly; ● When using bulleted lists, try to introduce them with a sentence or paragraph. In general try to limit yourself to five bullets in any one list; ● Keep your tone and style appropriate to your goals, readers, and argument. Conclusion Like any genre, you’ll see plenty of variations on the basic elements. This overview is meant to give you a general idea of conventions; it is not meant as a set of hard-and-fast rules. Ask questions, take note of how other memos are formatted, and experiment a bit as you try your hand at this genre. Teacher comment before I re wrote my critical analysis evaluation Teacher comment before I re wrote the proposal assignment These will help you write the reflection memo Midterm Portfolio Assignment Purpose: The portfolio is a chance to show how far you’ve come in the first half of the course and how far you plan to go throughout the course. The other purpose of the midterm portfolio is to give you practice compiling and shaping a portfolio of your writing. Recall that when the course ends the final portfolio that you submit will be worth 70% of your grade. Therefore, the portfolio is a high-stakes project, and I don’t want it to be the first time you’ve even tried to compile a portfolio. It’s best to work out the kinks now, while there is still time to correct them. Your portfolio will also include a reflection memo that must clearly reflect on what you’ve learned, your progress, your revisions, and your plan moving forward. Audience: For this project your primary audience is me. You will not receive extensive comments on your work. Instead, you will receive an in-progress grade for your portfolio. Conventions: There are many different ways to construct your portfolio and feel free to play around with or take risks with the organization. You must use correct memo formatting for the reflection memo. You must use correct MLA format and conventions for all other projects. Trouble Spots: While each portfolio is unique to the writer producing it, there are some things that we know from experience are important for portfolio writers to think about. ● What claims can you think about your learning at this point in the course? ● I have managed to get to learn to write an annotated bibliography but with the global warming topic it was a tough challenge. Same gose to the proposal and my critical analysis/ evaluation. ● What evidence do you have to support those claims? I have managed to Re- write my proposal and my critical analysis/ evaluation. ● How can you make sure I see the effort you’ve put into your portfolio? ● BY BREFLY EXPLAING HOW TOUGH was it to write the paper since the professor told me that my topic is to general and needs to be narrowed down. ● How can you show that you’ve connected class goals and lessons to your writing? ● by explaining what we learned in class like (ethos, pathos and logos) , I have maged to use them in my writings for this midterm portfolio Your Portfolio must include the following: ● Cover page (see Format for details) ● Table of Contents ● Reflection Memo (at least two pages) ● (Revised) Annotated Bibliography ● (Revised) Critical Analysis/Evaluation ● (Revised) Proposal ● Works Cited page (without annotations) ● Any other writing exercises or materials you reference in your memo to show your progress and writing process Format Your project should be typed in 12 point, Times New Roman font. Please include your last name and the page number in the top righthand corner of each page and at least the following information on your first/cover page: Your name My name Course and section Midterm Portfolio Due date (Day month year) Assessment Here are some guidelines to help you with this task: ❏ Include a detailed reflection memo that follows memo conventions ❏ Make thoughtful and thorough comments about the feedback you received from me and your peers. How did you address the comments? Did you agree with the comments? ❏ Make thoughtful and thorough comments on the revisions and additions you made in this portfolio and the revisions you plan to make for the final portfolio. ❏ Use correct MLA format. Purdue Owl. ❏ Use correct memo format. See Purdue Owl for an example. ❏ Be sure to reference the rubrics in JAC and on the back cover for assessment criterion. ❏ Submitted on time!
