In Week 1, we are focusing on Mastering AP Style Basics. This week's writing assignment is your opportunity to apply the fundamental rules of AP Style that you've learned in the readings and quiz. From capitalization and abbreviations to numbers and titles, this assignment will help you strengthen your familiarity with AP Style.

Your task is to complete the piece assigned by your supervisor, following AP Style guidelines. Be sure to:

• Use proper AP Style conventions (such as correct formatting for dates, times, titles, and numbers).
• Ensure clarity and consistency throughout your piece.

This week's writing is all about getting comfortable with the basics. Remember, a well-formatted piece builds credibility and readability.

Over the next week, take the time to carefully review your writing for AP Style accuracy. If you'd like support, feel free to email your draft to lesley@schoolspiritpr.com for feedback. You will also have the opportunity to meet with your instructor for coaching and peer editing.

The final version of your press release or article should be polished and ready for submission by next Wednesday. Use this assignment as a real-world application of the skills you're building, ensuring your message is clear and professional from the start.

Good luck, and remember to focus on mastering the basics this week!
