SAMPLE BUSINESS LETTER Peer Assessment #3 Due: Sun Mar 10, 2024 11:59pmDue: Sun Mar 10, 2024 11:59pm Access your peers essay using the same process you used for the previous round of peer assessments.Links to an external site. In addition to using broad strokes to identify higher/lower/order writing concerns, I've listed some guiding questions that should help with both your annotations as well as your business letters. Confirm that the thesis does not arrive until after the narration section AND that you are able to discern all three reasons. If you are unable to confirm this, indicate to your peer that the thesis is not in the correct place and/or the reasoning is not clear. Provide some specific advice for revision. Confirm that the action your peer is recommending is a tangible action ("open the door for someone") and not a life-long endeavor ("practice kindness"). If they do have a life-long endeavor, encourage them to think about the first step. For example, if one your peers is recommending that their classmates "educate themselves" on the topic of mental health, you'll want to remind them that even mental health experts are not experts until years of practice. Instead, you will want to ask your peer "what is the first step?" Can they recommend a book? A podcast? A class? That first step--the tangible action--should be the thesis statement, not the value or the life-long endeavor. How effectively has your peer focused their topic? How could the improve the focus? For each of the confirmation paragraphs, analyze the clarity and depth of the peer's stance. How effectively does your peer support reason A? Reason B? Reason C? Provide feedback on how well the evidence for each reason supports the claim. In other words, does the evidence provided to support reason A actually support the claim being made? Can you offer additional evidence for your peer to consider? How effectively does the writer integrate sources, quotes, data, or examples to bolster their argument? How well does the writer address potential counterarguments or opposing viewpoints? How well does the author refute those counterarguments? Assess the overall coherence and use of transitions between both sentences and paragraphs. Can you find evidence of the known-new contract where relevant? Where specifically could the writer improve the coherence of the piece? Discuss the extent to which it is clear that the writer is writing for a reader and not just for an assignment. In other words, where do you see evidence of a conscious writer? Where could the writer be more conscious of the needs of their reader? Offer feedback on your peer's use of MLA citation; let them know that easybib.comLinks to an external site. if their friend and it will generate their works cited page for them as long as they do not just copy and paste website links into the generator. Point out any instances where source integration lacks clarity or cohesion within the essay's flow?

Is there a Works Cited page included, and does it adhere to the MLA format guidelines? Are all cited sources accurately listed on the Works Cited page in alphabetical order? Do the Works Cited entries contain all the necessary information required for MLA format (authors, titles, publication details, etc.)? Step 3: Write your business letter Use the answers to your guiding questions to draft a 300 word business letter that addresses your feedback. Be sure to reference specific places in the essay so that your peers can target their revision. Avoid answering the questions above in a list format. Create a thoughtful and cohesive piece of writing with a beginning, a middle and an end. Step 4: Submit your business letter. Attach the business letter to the submission (just as we did last time) and type "done" in the comment box. ESSAY THAT NEEDS A BUSINESS LETTER: Forgiving yourself, is it important? Is forgiveness important? How is forgiveness important, and how can it affect you? There are many ways forgiveness can affect you, whether you are forgiving someone, or someone is forgiving you. This essay focuses more on forgiving yourself, and ways you can do so. Forgiving yourself helps you have stronger confidence, and can help you come to terms with things that may be bothering you. What are other ways that forgiveness can help someone? Some people think forgiveness helps with closure. Forgiving is crucial. Forgiving others, and being forgiven is something that happens all the time in day to day life, but that doesn’t make it any less important, or needed. Not forgiving someone, or not being forgiven can cause a great deal of pain for everyone involved, whether something is intentional or not, everyone needs to take a step back and see where things went wrong, and if they could have done anything differently, even if they aren’t the one to blame. Forgiving yourself is one of the hardest ones. Everyone needs to forgive themselves or they will never be ok with themselves. What are some ways people can work on forgiving themselves? We will discuss a little more below. “Ask yourself: “Is there anything I might have done to contribute to this failed interaction? Is there any possibility that [ might have unknowingly violated his or her dignity?” (Note that even if you did do something to the other person, you still may have suffered a dignity violation.)” (Theme essay 1). “ Saying “I’m sorry” is different from saying “I apologize.” The former reports on an internal state of the speaker but does not literally perform an apology.” (Theme essay 2). There are many different ways to apologize, and they have many different meanings. “It was a moment I’d read about – this sudden shift when the need to forgive outweighs the drive for revenge.” (Theme essay 4). Have you ever felt a drive to forgive that outways the drive for revenge like it is described in theme essay 4? “It’s the ‘learn to forgive’ part that’s key to making forgiveness stick” (Theme essay 4). Learning to forgive is a huge step. Now some people might find some of the things mentioned above interesting, and may not see how they are connected, but they are. When you are in a situation where there needs to be reconciliation, you need to see if you might have contributed. You need to know the right kind of apology you need to use, and how to use it, when you go to apologize, and lastly the drive to forgive. When you need to forgive, even if it is yourself, you have a drive to forgive, it’s something you need to do. What is something you can do to forgive yourself, and create a habit of over the next 3-6 months? It may sound a little cheesy, but a good way to work on forgiving yourself is self- affirmations. Make a goal to look in the mirror maybe once a week, and start working on forgiving yourself, and giving yourself affirmations. Once you forgive yourself, it will be easier to forgive others, and you will enjoy life more. What are other ways you can forgive yourself? I think that a good way to forgive yourself is by doing things that are good for you, whether that be getting up early, working out/moving your body, eating healthy, and getting work done, or if it’s something like reading a book, getting some extra rest, and eating consistent meals. There are many ways of forgiving yourself in terms of how you live your daily life, and no one should tell you the one what will work best for you, because you are the only one who knows that, but even rewarding yourself for doing the bare minimum after not being able to is a great place to start. In conclusion, Forgiving is a big deal. Forgiving can be done in many different ways, and self forgiving is one very important aspect of forgiving. A good habit to form is having affirmations, even just once a week, and helping yourself forgive yourself. You can also change habits, and lifestyles, and work to help you forgive yourself. This is something that you can do over the next 3-6 months, and if you see them helping, then you can continue to use the habits you have formed. I hope this is something that people are able to learn from, and use to help themselves, and I hope that no one feels alone in it. Hopefully someone will be able to use some of the examples, such as creating new habits, or rewarding yourself as a way of forgiving, and can find more joy and happiness out of life.
