Using the heuristic we have provided, have each member of the class create a cloud from their own resume. Then, in teams of two or three, examine these text clouds and see what they reveal about the professional preparation of the class as a whole. What are the strong points of class members' preparation? The weak points? What areas of technical communication as a field seem well represented? Less well represented?

When teams report to the whole group, see if you can add to or challenge the findings of other groups.
