Upon successful completion, students will be able to create an effective cover letter outlining their interest in applying for a position/college/internship/scholarship utilizing proper business letter format.
The importance of a cover letter
The importance of the cover letter/letter of introduction. It is usually the first piece of an application that is read. It does not get you the job but you want it to get you an interview.

See attached cartoon about Adam.

As a commercial says, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."Your 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" cover letter rarely does this. Researching the employer, college, or scholarship prior to writing the cover letter, this will give you the opportunity to effectively personalize your letter.

Most students do not have any trouble with the first and last paragraph but the middle one can be difficult for them. Brain storm as a class about different phases they could use.

You could use the same charts or information the students brain stormed in the "letter of recommendation" unit.
