Day 7 group work

Each group member should link to and read the workplace etiquette tips on the following three sites. Then the group can discuss any experiences each member has had with others blatantly violating such etiquette in the workplace. Next, discuss in a paragraph (a well-developed paragraph is longer than three sentences!) some of the etiquette violations your group member's have seen or experienced. Put all group member's names on the post. Only one posting (hence one paragraph) is needed per group. Make sure your paragraph has a focus and a topic sentence and that each sentence in the paragraph is a supporting detail. This is a complicated assignment, so show me and the class what you can achieve as a group!

Please look at Forbes' list of the world's richest people and click on some of their names to learn more about them. Then, in a well-developed paragraph, discuss some trends, demographic or otherwise, that you notice among these super-elite. What about today's world makes it possible for these individuals to be so enormously wealthy?

Day 2 groupwork

Writing Purpose Activity

Only one group member needs to post here, but please include all names of group members. Please select one member of your group and describe him or her in detail for three different purposes:
1. so one many identify him or her in a crowded airport;
2. for an "America's Most Wanted" ad;
3. for a dating website (describe him or her, not what he or she is looking for in a partner).

Have fun with this!
