I would venture to guess that the teacher actually explained and described the formats she wanted prior to assigning the work. I hope she did anyway because each of these formats may highly depend on the subject matter in which they occur. The previous poster had a point about the terms too: Does your child have to fill in a job application?
Or write a resume? What kind of poster writing are you referring to? Like a poster that a researcher might produce for a conference?
For advertisement writing, you might check out copy writing websites. Advertisements generally use emotional images and words to grab their audience but I do not think there is one specific format (hence why you need to ask the teacher or your son for more specifics). I also don't know of any specific formats for public speaking notes.
Since they are intended to be spoken, it's probably just a written version of what would be said. This isn't terribly helpful but hopefully your son didn't wait until the last minute to complete this and you have time to ask the teacher. Best of luck.
Here is one link I found.. msass.case.edu/harrislibrary/LibStudents... Good luck, Oh p.s. Don't you think your son should be doing his own homework? ;) :D.
This is quite a predicament that you've placed yourself in, frantically trying to get other people to do your son's homework Google them by typing the titles in your search engine... job application formats poster writing formats advertisement writing formats public speaking notes formats.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
