New students this semester: I need your blog address so I can link it to mine. I also need to get some information about your jobs from you. I will call you up one by one to get that information. I also have a document you need to read and sign.

CLASS ACTIVITIES:
4) Discuss proper letter format one more time. Yall are either not paying attention, are confused, or don't care about whether you do it correctly or not.
We can do business letters for the rest of the year if you want. That's very easy for me. But I would hope that isn't what yall would want. So in order to move on, I need for you to grasping the format better and typing the letters correctly.
