(1) You have been assigned the task of writing an "orientation" document for incoming freshmen students at the university where you attend. You are an experienced senior who is familiar with how things work and what the experience is like. Your task is to write a document that will help the incoming freshmen avoid problems and have a positive experience as they enter the university. First, brainstorm a list of all the topics or types of information you might include in this document. Next, choose a pattern of organization and create an outline for the document you will write. Be sure to follow the principles of outlining, and write appropriate headings for each of the outline's main sections.
(2) Your task on this activity is to create an outline on a topic of your own choosing. Select a topic you are interested in and knowledgeable about. Following the steps of divergent and convergent thinking we have discussed in class, write a purpose statement and develop an outline of this topic. Be sure to follow the principles of outlining, and write appropriate headings for each of the outline's main sections.
