Dear Class:

STARTERS:

CURIOUS HUMANS

Create a new FREEWRITE document. Set it up for this PR3

Freewrite:

WHY YOU WILL FAIL TO HAVE A GREAT CAREER 15:15min

Reflection Questions: How does it make you feel about your career choice? What new fact did you learn? Did it make you change your mind about your current career goal?

FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED Activities:

1) Continuing Learning Target: You will write a professional thank you note. WRITE A FORMAL THANK YOU CARD

Rewrite your thank you letter draft on the lined template provided, following the appropriate letter structure- salutation, body, closing. Include something specific from the interview in your letter's body. Proof your work for structure, spelling, grammar and sentence fluency. Have someone near you proof your draft. Make the necessary corrections and rewrite your letter on the back side of your template. When you are confident that your last draft is "perfect", request a card. The card will be hand written in blue or black ink only. The text on the draft will be centered or placed on the card so you can see where to begin.

MOCK INTERVIEWERS LIST BY CLASS PERIOD

2) Continuing Learning Targets:

Students know appropriate reading skills. You will go to CIS and log in. Go to "My Career Planning Portfolio". Go to the bottom of the left hand column and click on "My Learning Express". "Continue". On the left hand column, go to "High School". AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, IT SHOULD SAY YOUR NAME. IF IT JUST SAYS "Login", THEN YOU NEED TO GO TO THE BROWSER BACK ARROW AND THEN GO FORWARD ARROW UNTIL IT STILL SAYS YOUR NAME. YOU MAY HAVE TO DO THIS A BUNCH OF TIMES...IT WILL EVENTUALLY WORK! DO NOT USE THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT DO THE READING DIAGNOSTIC TEST! Go to "Reading Comprehension Skills Improvement". Go to "Reading Comprehension Diagnostic Tests" and do the "Reading Skills Diagnostic 1: Informational Text" on your own. You will work quietly and independently on this assignment. You are to do your own work. At the end, please do a print screen (F14) and paste into a document your score using control + V. This test says for an hour so you can finish it next class if you are not done. It counts for a grade!!!

Sincerely,

Mr. Green-Hite
