Reading Response 2

Complete the exercise below after reading The Essentials of Technical Communication chapter 2.

Find a document online that is aimed at specialists in your field. Then, transform the information into an email for a specific group of readers outside of your field (e.g., business managers, city officials, school administrators) who may need to know it for a particular reason (e.g., to make a business decision, to decide upon zoning matters, to determine school policy). Your goal is to translate specialist information for a non-specialist audience so that they can take an appropriate action.
