Lesson on Reference/Recommendation Letters
In your group, read each of the two recommendation letters that Principal Hendrix (principal at Hellgate) and Jon Stannard (Director of Upward Bound, a program to support students from challenging backgrounds in preparation for college) wrote on my behalf in the past and then discuss the follow-up questions in your group. Be prepared to share what you discussed out loud with other groups!

- What things did you notice?
- What were the similarities between the two?
- What made them different?
- Which one would be the strongest to include in an application? Could it depend? How?
Now, read the reference letter Mr. Swenson (another math teacher at CHS) wrote.
