If you do not know the recipient’s name, use a nonsexist salutation such as their job title: “Dear manager of X company.” ·       Body paragraphs:  o   single space and left justify each paragraph within the body of the letter. Leave a blank line between each paragraph. When writing a business letter, be careful to remember that conciseness is very important. In the first paragraph, consider a friendly opening and then a statement of the main point. The next paragraph should begin justifying the importance of the main point. In the next few paragraphs, continue justification with background information and supporting details. The closing paragraph should restate the purpose of the letter and, in some cases, request some type of action. o   Introduction §  Begin your introduction by stating what your purpose is, what you hope to achieve, and any other important information. §  Your goal in the introduction is to get the reader’s attention.  o   Body §  Elaborate and include more details about what you outlined in the first paragraph. Include examples, descriptions, and other important details.  o   Closing §  Wrap up and summarize your points.  ·       Signature o   Use a complimentary close, and then end your cover letter with your signature, followed by your typed name followed by your contact information. ·       Edit Your Letter o   Remember to apply academic tone and accurate grammar and edit your cover letter before sending it. It may sound silly, but make sure you include the correct names. Reading the letter aloud is a good way to catch small typos, such as missing words. Always double-check the spelling of your contact’s name, as well as the company name.

SAY: Quote the passage, word for word, and state who said the quote. Practice setting up a quote using MLA format.MEAN: In your own words, tell us what the passage means. MATTER: This is where you tell us the importance of the passage. What is the comment the author is making? What evidence can you find in the reading that supports your interpretation. Relate the quote to something you might have read beyond the text, or a personal experience, or world events.

For this essay, the skill set that you are learning is to control two sources equally, blending them into one cohesive argument and analysis. To do this, you will be discussing how the one text Chinua Achebe’s “Dead Men’s Path.” resounds with the ideas in Freire’s “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education.” In other words, this is somewhat similar to a “compare and contrast”, but more in-depth: instead of just a simple compare andcontrast such as “this author says this, but the other author says that,” you will be going deeper into how/why these ideas differ, where they converge, how they might influence one another, and whether the ideas build on each other. A good way to think of it is to put the two authors in conversation with each other about the theories and practice of education. While these authors are talking about similar issues withineducation, they aren’t making identical arguments–instead, they are focusing on specific ideas that are of particular interest to them. Your task is to discuss how these authors’ ideas compare toone another in terms of what they say about education. Basing your ideas in their texts, some questions you might ask yourself in order to put them into conversation are: Is your chosen text’sauthor building on the thoughts of Freire? Do they take different perspectives on the shared topic, and how? How do their ideas reflect one another? Where do they depart from one another?What does each author say about each of your chosen claims? Do they disagree, and why? Where is there common ground? How would they suggest moving forward? Don’t feel like you need to answer every single one of these questions–they are just some things to think about as a jumping off point to start brainstorming about how these ideas relate to one another.Your thesis statement (argument and claims) should incorporate both texts into a discussion about the education system, educational philosophy/pedagogy, classroom dynamics. Note: Please highlight the thesis. the thesis must be fully developed (with a “because”) and EACH quote must be presented in the body discusses the three questions needed for analysis: 1) What is the quote saying? 2) Why is that important? and most importantly 3) How does that support the thesis?

Describe three experiences and/or activities that have helped develop your passion for a possible career in a STEM field. each experience/activity should be a separate paragraph with a maximum of 120 words  I answered with an overview about the topic. If you have questions let me know in the chat.

2. Try activity 1.2 from the book, where you pull one list idea from the “list of lists” and create it! Or if music is your language, try 1.5 (labelled 1.4 in the PDF version, which is a newer edition than ours). This one reads: “Listen, alone and intently, to a piece of music you care about. After listening for five or fifteen minutes, write anything the music suggests to you. If it has lyrics, don’t use the words of the song, but the images in your own brain, the words that paint your feeling. Don’t try to make sense, or even sentences; let the music dictate your words.” Whatever you create should be roughly a page in length (ballpark estimate).
