  1. Welcome to Unit One Seminar !!! April 20th at 7 p.m. ET

  2. Hello everyone! Welcome to the first week of Professional Development in Technical Writing! • Our first task is to get to know each other. • In the Introduction thread, please write a “30 second elevator speech” that introduces yourself to your classmates and me. I have placed a helpful guide on writing elevator speeches in Doc Sharing in the “week One” folder. Introduction

  3. Choose one of the ten items listed in How to be famous in your profession* and discuss how you can follow that advice in your chosen profession. • Do not write about something you already do well. • Challenge yourself to pick one of the items you don't do or you don't do very well right now. • Linked in the course but also in doc Sharing in Unit One folder. Discussion 1

  4. Look through the sample student portfolios on p. 17 of your course text. (Note: Some of the links are no longer active; some take you to portfolio services at a certain university. You may have to try several to get to a list of student portfolios.) • Choose one student portfolio that you consider particularly effective and that stands out from the others and explain why. • List at least three reasons why you consider this particular portfolio effective. Refer to the reading in your response. Discussion 2

  5. Why is a portfolio as important or more important than a resume, especially for a technical writer or communications major? • In her article, Coker talks about the need to have several portfolios and not just one. What is the advantage of compiling all three types she speaks about? • What can make a portfolio unique or stand out from others? Seminar Questions

  6. Questions?
