Listen to the School Announcement
 Announcement

◦ An announcement means something that someone says officially, giving information about
something, or when someone announces something.
◦ An announcement should be direct and concise. Your reader or listener will be able to
understand the information quickly and can refer back to it easily.
◦ Present your information in a plain and complete way, so your reader will understand you the
first time (and not ask questions later).
◦ If the news you are announcing is bad, write it in a direct statement. Add a message of
understanding and optimism to your announcement, in a respectful tone.
