Engl 1033 Technical Writing I Instructions Report

Situation:

Your company’s home office in Arlen, Texas, has recently decided that all company branches nationwide must offer employees training on how to save money on parts and equipment purchases. You are the supervising technician at your local branch in Boondock, Oklahoma. Since you were standing in your boss’ office when he thought about this directive from the bigwigs in Texas, he assigned you the task of writing easy-to-understand instructions on how to find cheap online suppliers of parts and accessories that are not available from your wholesaler.

Task:

Write complete, detailed instructions on how to search for and find suppliers using a standard Internet search engine. To do so, first select an appropriate part or accessory that you would be buying online in the future. Then tell your readers in step-by-step detail (including reasons and warnings) how to conduct a search for a cheap online supplier of this part.

You will work on this assignment in groups of two or three. Your instructor will put together these groups. Write a short report in memo format that complies with all rules for good document design. Address the memo to Buck Strickland, general manager.

Use the due date of this assignment as your memo date.

Due Date:       TBA
