The Writing Process
Complete the following assignments and turn them in at the beginning of the next class.
1. Analyze the strengths and weakness of this message, then revise it so it follows the basic writing guidelines introduced in Chapters 4 through 6:
As an organization, the North American Personnel Motorsports Marketing Association has committed ourselves to helping our members - a diverse group comprising of dealers of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, Snowmobiles, and personal watercraft - achieve their business objectives. Consequently, our organization, which usually goes under the initials NAPMMA, has the following aims, goals, and objectives. Firstly, we endeavor to aid or assist our members in reaching their business objectives. Second, NAPMMA communicates (“lobbying” and slang terms) with local, state, and national governmental agencies and leaders on issues of importance to our members. And lastly, we educate the motorsports public, that being current motorsport vehicle owners, and prospective owners of said vehicles, on the safe and enjoyable operations of they’re vehicles.
2. Rewrite the following paragraph to vary the length of sentences and the shorten the paragraph so it looks for inviting to readers:
Although major league baseball remains popular, more people are attending minor-league baseball games because they can spend less on admission, snacks, and parking and still enjoy the excitement of America’s pastime. Connecticut, for example, has three AA minor-league teams, including the New Haven Ravens, who are affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals; but Norwich Navigators, who are affiliated with the New York Yankees; and the New Britain Rock Cats, who are affiliated with the Minnesota Twins. These teams play in relatively small stadiums, so fans are close enough to see and hear everything, from the swing of the bat connecting with the ball to the thud of the ball plan to give the outfielder’s glove. Best of all, the cost of a family outing to see rising stars play in a local minor-league game is just a fraction of what the family would spend to attend a major league game in a much larger, more credit stadium.
