Chapter 9, Additional Exercise 1: Analyzing Titles

In groups of two or three, go to an Internet search engine and search for "reports" or "government reports." You should be able to quickly locate numerous reports published by federal, state, and local government agencies. Assess the effectiveness of the titles of these reports. Select three or four effective titles and three or four that are less effective. Revise the less-effective titles. Be prepared to share your work with the class.
