Use a career planning process that includes self-assessment, personal development, and a career portfolio as a way to gain initial entry into the workplace.  \nB.2 . Demonstrate job seeking skills.  \nSKILLS UTILIZED:  \nListening, English grammar and composition, business etiquette, keyboarding, editing  \nNECESSARY SUPPLIES:  \n1. Copies of the Maine Career Advantage Career Portfolio.  \n2. Copies of Cover Letter Tips and Suggestions  \n3. Copies of Cover Letter Guide.  \n4. Copies of Sample Cover Letter \\#1 and Sample Cover Letter \\#2 .  \n5. Copies of Sample Letter of Introduction.  \nTIME REQUIRED: 45 minutes  \nNOTE: A block period would allow students the opportunity to draft a letter and get initial feedback while in the classroom.  \nLESSON PROCEDURE:  \n1. Discuss the importance of the cover letter/letter of introduction. It is usually the first piece of an application that is read. As the commercial says,“You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”  \n2. Hand out copies of the Cover Letter Guide. Walk students through the important parts of a business letter including heading, inside address, salutation, and the complimentary closing.  \n3. Hand out copies of Cover Letter Tips and Suggestions... Highlight the important items mentioned. Many students believe that “minor” errors can’t hurt them when it comes to applying for a job, scholarship, or college. Give students a few minutes to read and critique the sample letter. Ask them to suggest how it could be improved.  \n4. Stress that punctuation and grammar are vital components of a letter. A business manager or college admissions representative may need to see nothing more than one misspelled word to decide that the applicant isnot worth a second look.  \n5. Assist students in determining where to “send” their letter. They should make the letter as real as possible by picking a business of interest. A student interested in becoming an engineer should address it to an employer that may hire engineers. The phone book or local chamber of commerce directory will be of assistance to them.  \nASSIGNMENT:  \nStudents will create a draft cover letter directed to a business in a field of their interest.  \nSUGGESTED FOLLOW-UP:  \nRather than the teacher simply correcting the rough draft, it may prove useful to have students engage in a peer review session. This will give students an opportunity to see other writing styles, both good and bad.  \nYour cover letter is a potential employer’s first impression of you and can be the most vital part of the application packet. A well written letter entices the employer to read your resume. A poorly constructed cover letter may doom your resume to the “No Need to Read” pile. The same can be said for a college or scholarship application that includes an introductory letter. It is important to highlight your skills, knowledge, and experience. These will indicate what you can contribute to the company or school. Effective cover letters must convey a sense of purpose and project enthusiasm. A “form”  \ncover letter rarely does this. Researching the employer, college, or scholarship prior to writing the cover letter will give you the opportunity to effectively personalize your letter.  \n1. Always include a cover letter when mailing your resume. A letter of introduction will prove useful when applying to colleges. It may act as the basis for a college essay or it may be a useful addition to an application packet.  \n2. Unless the advertisement specifies “no phone calls please” and the name is not given in the ad, find out the name and title of the individual who will be receiving your letter. Make sure you spell the name properly and get the proper abbreviation (M","cbCait95qvCRcLJj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait95qvCRcLJj","pdf",224975,6,"English","# Objective\n# Learning Results\n# Skills and Supplies\n# Time Required\n# Lesson Procedure\n## Cover Letter Importance and Parts of a Business Letter\n## Tips, Grammar, and Personalization\n# Assignment\n# Suggested Follow-up\n# Cover Letter Guidelines","[{\"question\":\"What is the lesson objective for students writing a cover letter?\",\"answer\":\"Students learn to create an effective cover letter that outlines interest in applying for a position, college, internship, or scholarship using proper business letter format.\"},{\"question\":\"Which parts of a business letter do students practice during the lesson?\",\"answer\":\"Students review key components including the heading, inside address, salutation, and the complimentary closing.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the main assignment students complete?\",\"answer\":\"Students create a draft cover letter addressed to a business in a field of interest.\"}]","Cover Letter Lesson Plan - 45 Minutes | PDF",1789303551]
