November 12-16

Good Evening

I am glad to report that I am feeling much better. Below is our outline for this week.

1. Jeopardy-Belize

2. Writing the business letter continued.

I need to add a few comments on the writing assignments that were turned in the last class.

Group Assignment:

1. The topics were relative and interesting.

2. The concept maps were clear and appropriate.

3. The content was acceptable. (some editing was required)

4. The format was unacceptable.

A business letter, despite the reason or intent must follow any of a particular number of formats. I had included on the blog the blocked style in the post of Friday 18th 2012.

Please ensure that your letter this week has the appropriate business letter format as the Rubrics will indicate that I will be dedicating 25% of the overall attainable grade to proper formating. Please review the two videos again and remember to edit for grammar, spelling and content as well.
