Assignment Task

 
 
Task

• Write an essay suitable for an academic media outlet such as The Conversation (keep in mind the academic requirements of this essay which are listed below), on the topic:
• What are the issues associated with being employed as a casual employee in workplaces in Australia? 
• There are specific rules and regulations relating to casual employment, you can find information about these from the Fair Work Commission and the Fair Work Ombudsman.
• There has been a lot written about casual employment in academic peer reviewed literature, you will find this useful.
• Look for recent (in the last few years) articles about legal cases where the definition of what constitutes a casual employee might be changing – these will give you some opportunities for critique in your article.
• You will need to read extensively and choose carefully what you are going to write about. 
• Your extensive reading needs to translate into effective use of more than the minimum required number of references
• The article/essay that you’re writing must be knowledgeable about the topic and fully aware of what others are writing on the topic.

 
 
 
 
Tips

• Work hard on the first paragraph to grab the reader’s interest. Start with a short, sharp statement of the article’s essential facts, in no more than two sentences. Start with what’s new, relevant, or surprising. Readers want to know Five Ws: who, what, where, when, why, and sometimes how.
• Make a brief sketch of your main points and stick to them. Put the most important information first. That allows readers to explore a topic to the depth that their curiosity takes them.
• This assignment will require more time than usual to research and more time to re-read and proof in order to ensure that the requirements for the assessment are met
• Tone and ‘Readability
• Write the way people talk. Why say “A male person disembarked from the vehicle”, when you could say “a man stepped out of the car”? Explain complex ideas. Don’t get too technical. Avoid jargon. Your article should be readable.
• How to end
• The last sentence should aim to summarise or reiterate the point made in your opening paragraph. Or you can just raise the question of what should happen next.
• Headline tips (Yes, you need a headline)
• Keep your headline simple and direct – it should be seven to ten words at most, with the most relevant and important words at the start.
• Avoid puns and “smart” headlines, unless it suits the story. Instead, aim for an accurate and engaging label that summarises the content.
• Aim to employ active verbs, which add muscle and emphasise the “actor” in the story, eg. “Aspirin cuts cancer risk” or “WikiLeaks reveals flaws in new privacy laws”.
• Think of ways to distinguish your article from others. Is this new, or a first? Does it answer an important question, or solve a puzzle? Would you feel compelled to read beyond the headline or first sentence?
• WORD COUNT
• The word count does not include the title page, list of references or direct quotes.
• For this assignment the in text referencing ie (Smith 2016, p. 514) won’t count in the word count. This is because the word count is low and I expect you to reference extensively.
