Abstract
This packet contains instructional materials and online modules prepared for Fueling the mind, feeding the world: Communication in agriculture - Communicating in writing (COM04). It includes curriculum, PowerPoint slides, activities, handouts, grading considerations, and notes for instructors. These materials were created as part of the USDA Grant entitled "Fueling the Mind, Feeding the World: Enhancing Communication and Decision-Making Skills of Secondary Agricultural Education Students."
MODULE OVERVIEW: We communicate using written words every day. Signs, menus, instructions, stories—much of our daily life is devoted to decoding the meaning behind writing. Communicating about science is no different as most scientific findings are communicated in writing, but the type of writing used can vary depending on the audience who will be reading it. The Communicating in Writing module will provide an overview of best practices for four different types of writing to arm you with skills to express clear ideas.
