Write With Purpose / Page 4.1 Introduction INTRODUCTION Over the first three weeks of this course, you developed your communication skill by practicing active listening and using effective speakin... g techniques. For the next three weeks, you’ll continue to hone your communication skill by focusing on written communication—any type of message that uses the written word, be it an email, a text, a letter, or a sticky note.

Mistakes in written communication are usually the result of poor planning, disorganized writing, or a lack of editing.
