Lesson

wr3-0. Introduction

This chapter will be hands-on. You will write various projects where you will put what you have learned in the past two chapters to work.

You will be writing a feature story, a 30-second video script, the making of a press release, a business cover letter, and some guiding principles for writing an instruction manual.
​
Believe it or not, the same approach and writing principles you are learning apply to all of them.
