Comm 11/12

Today, we began Vocab Package #7.  I'll give you time in class to work on this tomorrow.  Tonight, make sure that you have read up to page 47 of the class novel and that you have completed questions #1 and #2 on Chapter 4.

Students also wrote a business letter in class today.  Here was the assignment (which is due on Wednesday):

You are a paid scribe, hired by George Milton to write a letter of complaint about the lice in the bunkhouse beds at Soledad Ranch.  Write a formal letter of that explains the situation and asks for the ranch owner to provide fresh, clean bedding.

Your address is 1234 Ranch Road, Soledad, CA 90342
The ranch boss' address is John Fist, Owner, Soledad Ranch, 1234 Ranch Road, Soledad, CA 90342

Make sure that your letter is formal and proofread well.
