I will be interning this semester at the Ronald McDonald House. RMHC is a non-profit organization that is a "home away from home" for families of critically ill children that are receiving treatment from local area hospitals.
The projects that I will be working on this semester for the House are: re-designing their Volunteer and Guest Handbook, flyers, and applications. This internship is a good fit for me because I feel that I can use my skills that I have learned in PWE classes to re-design material for the RMHC. I will also be exposed to how a non-profit organization works and the benefits of volunteering at RMHC.

I'm glad to hear your interest not only in the "writing" but also the "designing" aspect of working with professional texts. Do you have a sense of the design "problems" that you're going to be addressing in the handbooks? Is it primarily in terms of consistency? Effectiveness? Creativity?
ReplyDeleteThe design problems I am encountering are with consistency and creativity. The document does not include very many grammar errors but it is boring and hard to read all the way through because it is not creative.
