1. Cover Letters & Resumes
Tory Misiti

2. Analyzing the Learner
 My class consists of 18 high school seniors
– 8 girls and 10 boys
 75% white, 20% African-American, 5%
Hispanic
 12 of the seniors have previously said they
are in need of a cover letter for a job /
internship they are soon applying for

3. Objective
Each student will know how to organize and
write a successful cover letter by the time
the lesson plan is complete. By breaking
down the process step by step and showing
them many examples of good and bad
cover letters, students will enumerate an
effective cover letter to be turned in for a
grade. This lesson will take 5 days to
complete and will be graded based on
how well they showcase what was taught.

4. Days 1 & 2
 Day 1 – I will explain to the students exactly what
cover letters and resumes are. I will do this by
creating a blog that talks about each of the
topics, then the students will post onto Facebook a
screenshot of the advertisement they’ll be using
their cover letter / resume for.
 Day 2 – I will thoroughly go over what should be
included in their documents. By this day, students
will know to limit their letter to one page, show
personality in a professional fashion, and how to
arrange the letter / resume to focus on main
points, among many other helpful tactics by
showing them posters and a video.

5. Days 3, 4 & 5
 Day 3 – On this day, I will show students how to
organize their cover letters / resumes by YouTube
videos. Then, I will use Twitter to communicate to
students if I have received their revised copies.
 Day 4 – On this day, I will ask students to turn in a
final draft of their work. Then, we will move into the
arts & bots portion of the unit.
 Day 5 – Students will get time to finalize their bots,
then they will present them. This will be a fun way
to end the week. Also, I will create a podcast at
the end of the week to summarize what all we did.
