Checklists to Evaluate Memos (Lesson 8)

 

Below is a graphic organizer checklist that will allow you to compare and contrast the three mini workplace memos. For each of the three memos, put a checkmark beside any criterion/description that fits it. Afterwards, write an example number under each of the labels to correctly identify each memo.

 

Example 1

Example 2

Below are three labels concerning the point of views of the memos. Using the information you gained from the checklists, write each example number under the label that fits it best.

 

Father’s point                         Boy’s point                         Principal’s point

      of view                                           of view                                              of view
