Writing assignment rubric for application to various non-research writing projects/assignments

A cover letter is a sales letter! Your objective is to sell yourself to the reader - make yourself a "match" for the organization to which you are applying. Your cover letter should be customized to one specific audience!

This assignment is based on what was taught from Chapter 9 in the textbook. You are to create a resume, cover letter and thank you letter as if you were applying for a job as an LPN. You choose the place of employment but be sure you have the correct address. This assignment needs to be typed, include a cover letter (for me so I know who it’s from), and should be approximately one page for each letter. The resume may be slightly longer depending on experiences and achievements.

Students will sent an email to the instructor. This is a professional communication activity.

We can expect students to produce good writing only if they understand what good writing is. For example, a student writing a personal essay needs to know that personal essays express the writer’s thoughts and opinions, often incorporate personal anecdotes or experiences, and are usually written in a less formal style than a literary analysis or other form of essay. In an assessment situation, it is only fair for students to know how their work will be judged. Knowing the criteria for good writing will also help students evaluate and revise their own writing before it is submitted for teacher evaluation.When you give students the criteria, discuss what is expected of them. Student can receive a maximum of 12 points
