Hello all,

Seeing that we are halfway through the class, I have learned about how to communicate more effectively and clarity. I really never looked at my writing in the professional manner and being in this class makes me want to be a better writer and communicator. I write a good amount of emails as well as blog. This course has made me want to expand my vocabulary and improve on my communication skills. After reading chapter 5 in the text, the top tips from The Ten Principles of Power Editing that I use is 7, us the Read-Aloud Test and use Wording Tools. I find these to be the most effective for me when it comes to making sure my writing makes sense. I used to not do as much revision to my writing but now I will be sure to make that an important part of my communications process. How I will revise my outline is by using the print out and red pen method. I would like for my mini TedTalk to be consise and flow. I believe reading it out loud and using the red pen to fix any errors would help make my talk more effective
