Quality Enhancement
1.5 revise, edit, and proofread drafts of business and technological communications they pro- duce to achieve a professional standard of quality in content, organization, style, clarity, and design (e.g., eliminate unnecessary details from a business letter; convert key ideas to point form in a report; add visual props to support an oral presentation; use a checklist to ensure that all necessary information and important details have been included in a brochure; use feedback from the teacher and peers to eliminate unneces- sary jargon, improve word choice, and achieve a clear and appropriate style; compare drafts with appropriate models to identify areas for improvement in design and layout)
Teacher prompts: “Is your information pre- sented in a logical order?” “What changes might make your message clearer?” “What could you do to make this business card look more professional?”
