To start, your memo should state its overall purpose, to remind the manager what s/he requested you to do. Next, thoroughly respond to each task you are assigned. For each, briefly restate the task. Then provide a thorough and accurate written response that summarizes the source information you found. Your written response should be supported with (1) images that shows the specific source information you used, and (2) a weblink to each source in case your manager wants to review that information further. Number your responses and respond to the tasks in sequence. Finally, you may choose to provide a conclusion to your memo.
Details on how to insert an image into your micro-challenge using the screenshot or screen clipping tools can be found HERE.
Some additional info regarding supporting images:
1. Supporting images do not replace your written response, they only show the source information used.
2. Supporting images should be visible, not be provided as files. Screen clip them and paste them into your memo.
3. Images should be readable – stretch them to make them large enough to be legible in the memo.
