Homework Assignment #1


Write a letter of introduction to your instructor and course assistant.

In the letter, introduce yourself and provide information about current & past reading experiences (What do you like to read? How often to you read? Where do you read?), writing preferences (do you enjoy writing? What do you like to write?), language expertise (Do you speak/read/write more than one language?), education (Where and when did you graduate from high school?), and work experience. To learn about letter-writing genres, you should practice using a formal letter format, as shown on page 231 of The Norton Field Guide. These letters should be typed and printed out for submission in class on August 6th. They should be single-spaced with one extra space left between paragraphs. Print your letter on white paper with one inch margins on top, bottom, right and left sides.

Length: 2 to 4 pages, single-sided.  Submit two copies.

Letters will be submitted to instructor & course assistant on Tuesday August 6th.

If you do not want to write your own address into the letter, you can use the City College address both for the instructor’s address and for a personal address.
