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!

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. 

Hello, everyone. I hope you had a great weekend!

If you haven’t already sent me your Creative Ads Project, please do so during today’s class.

Also, today I would like you to read over the PowerPoint I’ve uploaded titled “Human Resource Management.” 

If there is anything you don’t understand as you are reading through, please let me know. I will have an activity for you tomorrow that is related to these notes.

Thanks, and enjoy your day.

Hi everyone. I hope you had a great weekend!

Today I’m having you begin your poetry project. Like the short story project you just completed, this project offers an abundance of choices, so I’m sure there will be something for everyone.  Also, like your last project, I’m open to hearing your own project ideas if you have something different in mind.

I’ve attached the project sheet, so be sure to read it over carefully! You will complete one activity from column 1 and one activity from column 2 or 3.  You are only completing two projects in total.

In addition, you will be presenting one of your projects to a small group of your peers and they will be evaluating you. You can decide which project you would like to present but read over the peer evaluation form to be sure you are selecting a project that you feel you can present well based on the evaluation criteria. 

The project will be due and peer evaluations will take place on Monday, November 22^nd. 

As you work your way through your assignments, please let me know if you have any questions. I’m always happy to help!

I’ve uploaded your poetry project and your poetry project peer evaluation form.

Hi everyone. We almost have a week of distance learning under our belt!

Today I would like you to wrap up your journals by typing or handwriting your final copy of each. 

I will ask that you hang onto them, with the hopes that we’ll be back to school next week, and I will collect them from you then.  I can also print them for you at that time if required. 

Remember, this month I’m requesting that you pass in your preplanning pages, so be sure to save your copy for each journal. 

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

If you have any questions, let me know and have a wonderful weekend.  Hopefully, we’ll be back together next week!
