MODULE 5 EXERCISE 5.5 – UNTIMED WRITING TASK
- Download the case notes available for this task
Instructions: This exercise is NOT timed. Use the case notes and what you have learned so far to write a referral letter to the dietitian. Your letter should be approximately 180 – 200 words. Write complete sentences, not note form. Use a professional letter format. (If you are not sure what professional format is, don’t worry. We will cover this in the next module!)
Tips:
- Read the task first.
- Summarize main points
- Think about what the reader needs and doesn’t need
- Prioritize the information – outline the main issue and requested action first; then supporting information afterwards
- Arrange information and paragraphs logically
