1. Complete page 3 of your Mock Interview reflection, which is to write a draft of a thankyou note.

Note: Reread page 2 because you should include something that you remember about the interview.

3. Proof your draft for missing words, sense, punctuation and capitalization. Have a peer in your row also proof your draft.
4. When you are ready to write your 2nd draft have a black or blue ink pen ready.
5. Follow the guidelines of the template to carefully copy your first draft, correct word for correct word, on the lines. You may use 2 lines if you write big.

This should be done in your BEST handwriting.

6. Proof your draft again for errors.
7. If all is well you are ready to copy your 2nd draft onto a card.
8. Center your draft so you get an idea of where to begin writing and know where you will end.

10. Return any borrowed materials and wait to turn in your card at the end of class.
11. Thank you for being thoughtful of others and contributing to a successful Mock Interview Event. Move on to the 7 Habits assignment.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
