Recommendation Letter Sample

Recommendation Assignment (September 4, 2015)
Directions: Below is a sample recommendation letter. Use it to compose one for yourself. Pretend you are a teacher who is writing a recommendation letter for you. Have fun and make yourself sound good! The longer the letter, the better! However, be truthful. You can use this recommendation as one of the ones required for your PSEP. You should place this in your notebook and it must be completed by our next class. I will check it then! Be on your best and make sure our substitute teacher has a peaceful time.
