Exercise 3

Check the tone of a report.
For the Write Experience exercise, "Need for More Environmentally Friendly Practices," you write a report to your supervisor to outline your plan to reduce office waste. You identified one practice (e.g., wasting paper, not recycling, not composting, or discarding reusable equipment) and described your ideas for more sustainable practices.
Exchange reports with a partner, and imagine that you're an employee instead of the writer's supervisor reading the report. How does the tone sound Does it accuse or blame employees for poor practices What, if any, changes should the writer make if the report were sent to employees instead of to the supervisor
