Planning
This assignment was related to our reaktion book, mine was water. For the assignment, I decided to
make an email and memo about a company planning a work trip to Uganda to help them construct
some water wells.

First Draft (for peer editing)

The email was a short description introducing the idea of the trip and what the company would be
doing in Uganda. The tone was semi-formal, so I didn't struggle with it.
The memo was an in-depth explanation of what the email said. Here I separated it into a small
introduction of the problem, a summary, the problem, solution, and a conclusion.

Second Draft (for your packet)

The second draft was the same as the first draft. Didn't change much.

Final Draft (for your portfolio)

On the final draft, I added a small greeting text before the problem presented in the email. In the
memo, I added a small introduction so the recipients know why they were receiving the memo.
Overall the assignment wasn't that hard since the language was semi-formal informative.
