Today’s Tasks:

2. Today we are going to write Recommendation Request Letters.  You need
recommendations from important grown-ups for college and job applications.  The way to
get a recommendation letter is to write a letter in which you NICELY and HUMBLY ask for
one.  We are going to write 2 of these today.  You received the template on the way in. 
 You may write the same letter twice, but you need to ask two different people (teachers
are best).  I will give you 50 points for each letter (you may do more than 2), and I will
deliver/mail them for you.  Students can get the format for the letters by clicking here.
