Refer to question 4 and assume that when you either write or speak to your supervisor proposing expanded evening hours, you decide to organize your message indirectly, building up to the main point. Because you are using an indirect organization, what content can you include in the introduction of the email or opening of the conversation that will help your audience follow your logic and understand where you are going? Provide an example.

Question 4

Assume that you work at a bookstore near campus and would like to propose to your supervisor that the bookstore stay open two hours later each evening during the week. You need to choose whether to write your proposal in an email or to request a face-to-face meeting. Your supervisor has no preference about how you communicate. Which medium would you choose, and why?
