In careers across the disciplines, correspondence such as memos, emails, and letters make up the majority of documents professionals produce during their employment. In class, we will discuss contexts\/purposes for writing (positive\/neutral\/information, negative, and persuasive), short correspondence genres (memos, emails, and letters), and strategies for communicating effectively within them. Ultimately, this project will ask you to plan for (PAGOS), draft, and revise positive\/neutral\/informational, negative, and persuasive professional correspondence. It will also ask you to participate in feedback teams to give and receive feedback on your correspondence plans and drafts.<\/p>\n<h4>Characters, Scenarios, &amp; Feedback Teams<\/h4>\n<div style=\"width: 500px;
