Genre: Cover Letter

Refer to the attached document in order to write the cover letter.

Please make the cover letter the very first page of your assignment. In direct response to these questions, please write a letter to your instructor:

a. Why did you make the rhetorical decisions that you did? Be specific — please pull out specific examples, words/phrases/language choices, and so on to explain.

b. Why did you make the stylistic decisions that you did? Be specific — please pull out specific examples from your text.

c. What did you learn throughout this process? Be specific. As each assignment goes on, please make connections between and among the different major assignment.

The Cover Letter is your way to look back over your work and make sense of why you did what you did to help move you forward, but it also creates a persuasive understanding for yourself and instructor about how well you understand what you did and why you did it.
