3-19 Cover Letter/Presentation

Those of you who have still not completed a resume:

• Use the school's guidelines  and mine to help you complete it. 
• The school requires that it be one page or less.
• Click "File," "Download As...," "Word" if you want to turn your GoogleDoc into a Word Document for your own use (but don't delete the GoogleDoc).

Cover Letter for Senior Project: Sample
3 Paragraphs:

1. Describe yourself; introduce topic of presentation (personal passion or most meaningful life experience that you can talk about for 10 minutes).
2. Explain how it relates to ESLRs (complex thinker, effective communicator, responsible and self-directed worker, involved citizen, healthy life-style advocate).
3. Thank the panel for getting to know you. 

You'll need to:
1. Pick a topic for presentation (due by the end of class today; use Questions  to help you think of a topic) and begin brainstorming what you will talk about in your presentation.
2. Write first paragraph of your cover letter describing yourself and your topic (due end of class tomorrow in your online notebook, we will peer edit Wednesday). 10 points for having this complete on time.
3. Decide which ESLR your presentation relates to. Write second paragraph of cover letter (due end of class Wednesday in online notebook). 10 points for having this done on time.
4. Outline presentation and edit/finish cover letter (due end of class Friday in new documents). 30 points for having this done on time with correct grammar, punctuation, etc.


Next week we'll work on our visual for the presentation and let people practice their presentations who want to.

If you finish all this early, you are welcome to work on a Personal Statement Essay for extra credit. I'll put up instructions soon for those of you that want to take that on.
