Hi everyone. I hope you had a restful Remembrance Day.

Today’s assignment is to continue working on your business letter.

On Wednesday, I asked you to complete steps 3 and 4 of the writing process outlined below.  Today I would like you to work on step 5 – editing your letter.

1.    Select the purpose of your letter.

2.    Preplanning: List all the items you can speak about regarding this topic.

3.    Number the items in the order you would like to present them.

4.    Begin drafting your letter.

5.    Edit your letter.

6.    Prepare a typed final copy.

To properly edit your writing, you should go through the following checklist:

• Ø  All my sentences are correct, and I’ve used the proper punctuation.
• Ø  All words are spelled correctly.
• Ø  I’ve capitalized all proper nouns. 
• Ø  My word choice is professional and grade appropriate.
• Ø  I’ve read my letter aloud to ensure I have not overused any words and my sentences flow nicely.

If you experience any difficulties, please reach out to me so I can offer some assistance.

In addition to your letter writing, I would like you to also spend fifteen minutes reading your personal novel.

-        If you happen to finish off your novel, perhaps you can pick up another one at the local library or borrow a book from a friend or family member.

Enjoy your day and have a nice weekend. I hope to see you soon!

Important Note:  It is necessary that you go onto Teams each day at the beginning of English class and send me a notification.  This will inform me that you have seen the day’s assignment(s) and I will be able to record your attendance.  I also dedicate this hour to working with your class and answering any questions you may have.

Hi Folks!

I would like you to continue working on the worksheet titled Human Resource Management: Review Assignment that I assigned yesterday.  I just want to remind you that you have until the end of class on Friday to complete this activity and send me your work.

If you encounter any difficulties, please let me know.

Enjoy your day.

Hi Folks!

I have two requests today:

1.    Continue working on your poetry project.

2.    Read your personal novel for fifteen minutes. 

Some of you have been asking for a copy of our November calendar.  It was ready to be distributed on November 1^st, but, because of the labor strike, it may be necessary to make some changes to it, so for now just focus on the following deadlines:

November 22^nd – Poetry Project Due

                       Present Poetry Project/Peer Evaluations

November 30^th – November Journals Due

Thanks, and have a great day.

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Today we are going to continue with our letter writing unit. If you have not yet emailed your personal letter to me, please do so.

By now you should have had an opportunity to read over the two documents I provided yesterday on business letters, so today I would like you to get started with creating your own business letter.  In doing so, please follow the steps I’ve outlined below:

1.    Select the purpose of your letter.

2.    Preplanning: List all the items you can speak about regarding this topic.

3.    Number the items in the order you would like to present them.

4.    Begin drafting your letter.

5.    Edit your letter.

6.    Prepare a typed final copy.

For today’s class, you are only required to complete steps 1 and 2. 

Slide 8 of yesterday’s PowerPoint provides a list of reasons for writing business letters, so you may wish to refer back to that to help you with step 1. 

Once you establish the purpose of your letter, begin brainstorming all the things you can talk about in relation to the subject. 

I would also like you to spend fifteen minutes reading your personal novel.

Just a reminder, the school will be open today from 12 to 1 if you would like to drop by to retrieve anything from your locker.
