This Just In!!! Analyzing your readers will help entertain your readers!
When writing or presenting information to an audience it is vital that you analyze what type of audience it is in order for them to understand and be interested in what you are writing. There are four main types of audiences the Experts who know the product at hand inside and out, the technicians who build, operate, maintain, and repair the product, executives who make business, political, legal, and government decisions on the product, and the nonspecialists who mainly need to use or gain some type of advantage from the product. You must also understand the background knowledge, experience, and training of the readers. Along with needs and interest, as well as demographic characteristics. When writing anything you must first realize who will be reading the information, you would not want to write about taxes and political news for and underage crowd. Always have the interest in your audience in your mind when putting together information and you will get your point across the audience a lot easier.
Donald M letter of resignation
This is a very humorous ToonDoo clip in explaining the letter of resignation process. This comic shows former President Nixon giving his resignation speech. The humor is that he said "I am resigning my position as the President of the United States", then in the cloud above his head reads "Man I've been caught". In essence he is not expressing his true feelings why he is resigning.
A letter of resignation should be professional and state your reason for resigning. You should include the date, the company name, your boss' name, and your signature. You should also include that you are grateful for what the company has meant to you and it is okay to say you have accepted a job at another company. These are very simple and important steps in writing a letter of resignation.

Joshua K Team Projects build character for the Future.
Team Projects are very useful in the business world. According to dictionary.com, a team is "an interdependent collection of individuals who work together towards a common goal and who share responsibility for specific outcomes of their organizations." There are several aspects of Team Projects that will help build a great business workforce, and ultimately being successful.
Typically in a team project, there is a project leader and several other employees that fulfill the assignments cast out by the project leader. A project leader will put together a team of employees or students that they believe can get the work done. Through this, they pick people that they believe they can trust to get the job done correctly and on time. While gaining trust within one another, a team project also creates bonding within the workforce. Team projects spend countless hours together, further allowing each other to bond. With a team that bonds, like any team, creates chemistry that later leads to success.

Brittany H- How do you use ethics?
When writing reports, be it for a new business venture or just a daily report of your employees, it is always important to check the way you write. Using spell check, the dictionary, and Google are all helpful tools to make sure you have the right information and are using the right words (spelling them correctly is also a plus!). In addition to, it is extremely important to use ethics in your writing. This means that when you use a statistic, copy and paste a quote you find on the Internet, or even rewrite a line out of a famous book, you must cite the author. Citing your sources is ethical in many ways but most importantly it gives credit to the author for what he/or she accomplished. It is also important to cite our sources, because if we don’t that is considered plagiarism, which is not only unethical but also punishable amongst most companies.
