Welcome to this class! My hope is that years from now, when you look back on your time spent in this room, that you will be able to see that you learned some skills that really help you in your life. I'd say that reading is the single most important skill a person can learn, and writing is a close second. Critical thinking is third, and your skills in all three of these areas will be sharpened this year.
To start the year, I'm going to have you pretend that you work in the personel department of a garbage company and that you are writing a letter to your boss recommending that the boss hire one of two candidates. You will read through their resumes and then do a lot of thinking before you decide which candidate the boss should hire. Keep in mind what kinds of things a boss would be concerned with, because you will want to focus your ideas there. This is all about persuasion. Be clear, logical, and convincing.
