Be descriptive with the story, especially with how the astronaut feels and what he is going to do.

• Today I introduced cover letters OR letters of intent. Take a look at Steps to Creating a Cover Letter to see what should be included. 
• You need to create a cover letter for a job that you could apply for as a part time worker while you are going to school. It really does not matter what the job is. What is important is what you include in your cover letter to sell yourself and get the potential employer to look at your resume and contact you for an interview. 
• At the end of class tomorrow you will need to turn in your rough draft for the cover letter.
