In my opinion, St Clair College’s website lacks a lot of visuals, and I don’t feel like they’re effective enough whatsoever, and it definitely doesn’t make me want to keep going through other pages to seek more information. They could also definitely include a section on their homepage about their sports because St Clair college…

I picked these pictures because they help show and convey my business’s message.

b. What was the most challenging aspect of applying the F-Pattern and Plain English writing principles? How did you overcome it? (5 Marks)
I think the most difficult part of rewriting my f-pattern to follow the 3 objectives for plain English writing was carefully balancing all of my details while keeping them simple and straight to the point. I wanted to explain everything, but I knew that too much text and information would overwhelm readers. Sometimes I have…

a. Describe one specific technique you used to improve readability in your revised version and explain why it is effective. (4 Marks)
A specific technique that I use to improve the readability of my content was to add descriptions to the bullet points in the service lists because my original introductory paragraph only had the services with no extra information, so for my updated version I decided to add short and clear descriptions of what the reader…

3. For question #2, explain how your new post successfully addresses the three main objectives of Plain English writing as discussed in class. Provide a detailed breakdown of each objective. (9 Marks)
