Giving Thanks: KTC Students Compose Thank You's

This week at KTC, students are beginning their rough drafts of their thank you letters to their interviewers.

All of the students are writing the thank you letters in Google Drive so that way they can share them with me or their teachers.  We briefly recapped the parts of a thank you letter with a template projected onto my white board with the help of the ELMO.  After that, I kept the template up and the students used it as a guide for how to do their thank you letter.  When they are done, they are to share it with me.

The main goal of today is for them to get a start on this thank you letter.  Next week, they will have comments on their document they shared with me so they can revise it.   Our goal at KTC is that when a resume, cover letter, or thank you letter leaves this building, it is employment ready.


They will also be starting on cover letters next week.  It should be polished and should hold to the conventions of English and to the high standard we have established at KTC.  This includes a pre-test, video for viewing, a picture to look at, discussion, rubric for grading, and a post-test.
