Habit of Mind Focus: Thinking and Communicating with Clarity and Precision

How does your terms work on producing a newspaper article demonstrate your use of the habit of mind above?

I have communicated with my team mates by e-mailing and we talked about what topic we are doing and whose going to do what. I have thought deeply what topic I’m going to do about and I choused “Volcanic eruption in Iceland”. I described words nicely and neatly. When I was done, I attach my word document into my e-mail and send it to our group leader. My work clearly reports on the issue with good use of language skills. That is what I think I did on my news paper using the habit of minds.
