Your assignment this week is to summarize “Blessed are the Meek’ from Biblical Principles of Hiring and Developing Employees by Bruce Winston in only 350-400 words.
The goal of this assignment is to help you perfect a concise, professional writing voice, so you must remain within this word count.
You are also not allowed to use a single form of the verb “to be” (am, is, are, was, were, be, being, or been). These verbs are an integral part of passive voice, which hurts your writing’s clarity and concision when used incorrectly.
While your future graduate assignments likely won’t completely ban using passive voice, you want to be in the habit of using active voice whenever possible. Thus, this assignment completely bans the passive voice to help you practice utilizing the active voice.
