Description
For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to gain further proficiency with several practices pertinent to technical writing. Specifically, this assignment will allow you to gain further practice with design, graphics, and style while also giving you the opportunity to develop an understanding of the way that the digital environment and the availability of various media are influencing the production and dissemination of technical content.
So for Major Assignment 3, image that you work for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA has produced this videoLinks to an external site. that informs the public of the value and use of programmable thermostats. Based on usage rates, however, the EPA is not satisfied with the video and has asked you to generate a print-document that contains the same information presented in the video. Therefore, your task is to create an informative and accessible information sheet that describes the value and use of programmable thermostats.
As you construct your information sheet, follow these steps:
1) Review the video and identify the various sections and types of content being discussed. You should find that the video
describes what a programmable thermostat is
explains the value of the device
offers descriptions of the various types
provides instructions on how to use it
identifies practices that should be avoided
Through the content, the video attempts to persuade the public to use the device by conveying its value and describing its use. Your information sheet should not be a manual that describes how to program the thermostat or a manual that instructs the public on how to install the device. Your purpose is to produce an information sheet that gives the public an understanding of the device and persuades the public of the value of the device.
2) Review the following samples as a way to plan how to design and organize the content in your information sheet.

Recognize that while these samples convey content about programmable thermostats, they do not convey all of the information you will need to provide in your document. Therefore, consider the fundamental practices used in the samples to include:
breaking content into defined sections, identified through informative headings and subheadings
using lists to categorize content as opposed to lengthy paragraphs
using color in strategic ways so that the color of the font, for example, designates particular types of content
including images (photographs and icons) that convey relevant content
3) Consider using an alternative to Word or similar word processing programs to create your information sheet. While you can construct an effective document through word processing software, you will find that other alternatives exist that can, in fact, create a more engaging document. And these programs are easy to use, and you can eliminate the struggles that Word and similar programs pose when you try to use them in alternative ways.
One program that I would recommend is piktochartLinks to an external site., a free, easy to use, click and drag operation that allows you to manipulate and place various content onto a page.
