Guidelines for paper
1.Read the letter
2.In the letter, try to identify what the “speech acts” are that manifest the problem… you can probably easily pick out what the problem is, but you’ll need to be able to describe (without evaluation) the actions that may be causing or symptomatic of the problem. Figure out what communication scholars call that behavior or process (e.g., “self-dislcosure”, “secret keeping”, “secret revelation”, “non-accommodation”, “uncertainty reduction”, etc.)
3.Learn about what scholars know about that concept. Which theories are attached to this concept? What are the predictions scholars have made regarding this concept?
4.Based on what you know (not on your own gut instinct or personal morales) create an “evidence-based” solution. That is, your solution should clearly draw on and be substantiated by theory.
5.Once you have all these pieces, think about how you could organize these ideas so that the recipient of your letter could understand the reasoning and the proposed solution. In a sense, you’re kind of teaching the recipient what you know about communication and then, based on this knowledge you’ve now explained, propose a solution. [Pretend you’re talking to a sibling or friend that doesn’t take comm courses]
6.Make sure you have these elements in your paper to have proper APA format… 1.Running header (different on first page than rest of pages)
2.Page numbers
3.Title page with info centered and in the top third of the page
4. 4.References (NOT WORKS CITED!) page with all citations double spaced and using “hanging indents”
