MAELC Internship Opportunity

As an assignment this week we were asked to write several different letters. This one was designed to be written to a reader to encourage them to work for the same company you do. I decided to write to the Ag Ed majors about the company that offers an internship I did over the summer. MAELC was the organization that held this internship that I was able to participate in and hope to continue to participate in next summer.

Dear Agricultural Education students,
Thank you for taking the time to hear about my internship during Agriculture Club last week. I hope this letter finds you well as you begin thinking about future internships. This position I had at Kasson-Mantorville High School, through MAELC, is definitely an opportunity that all Ag Ed majors should consider.
MAELC stands for the Minnesota Agricultural Education Leadership Council. They are a legislative council that supports agricultural education across the state of Minnesota. They have an internship each year where they place you at a high school across the state for the summer months. During that time you have the opportunity to work with the FFA advisors and students. The organization also provides funding to attend the MAAE Summer Conference and encourages each intern to have discussions with the other interns across the state.
This internship and company is something I strongly encourage you to look more into. I can answer any questions about the position or the application process. Please feel free to reach out to me via phone or email. Thank you!
Sincerely,

Amanda Stafford

Sample Email

In professional writing communication happens in many ways, one way is email. Below is a sample email on to a professor. Keeping in mind familiarity and seniority of the professor, here is an example. From: <Amanda Stafford> To: <Lee French> Subject: AGRO 132: Absence 9/21 Good morning Professor French, My name is Amanda Stafford. I am currently in your Thursday 3pm Crop Production Lab. I am emailing you because I will unfortunately be out of class Thursday, September 21st for the SMSU Ag Advisory Meeting. Is it acceptable to miss lab for this? Additionally, would attending your Tuesday morning lab be welcomed to make up Thursday's lab? Sorry for the inconvenience and I appreciate your guidance, thank you! Sincerely, Amanda Stafford

The Power of Letters

As our Writing in Professions class learns more about formal letter writing, I recall experiences in the past where I have taken time to write business letters. In high school, my College Preparation Composition class learned about complaints, inquiry, and compliment letters. As an added twist, we could mail our letters for extra credit. Of course I sent mine, since I wrote honest letters that included how I felt. After sealing and mailing these letters, it was a short 3-weeks and I had gotten a response from the companies. I wrote a complaint letter to the manufacturer of my screen protector on my Ipad. It wasn't a terrible protector, but there was clearly a defect in the one I had gotten. The company responded with sending me a new protector and reimbursing my original purchase. I still use their screen protectors to this day because the quality of their customer service and know they truly stand behind their products. One of the other letters I wrote was an inquiry to a fo...

Final Paper- Methods Proposal

Making the classroom interactive, inclusive, and innovative are important to my philosophy. For my final paper I have the opportunity to dig deeper into a topic that relates to what I want to do in the future. There are many agricultural topics that could be covered, but instead I have chosen to write about Special Education in the Agricultural Education classroom. The proposal will discuss current teaching methods, curriculum and current Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources standards, and reflect on SPED methods and how they could be applied into the classroom. This proposal expands beyond my philosophy and dives into how I am going to make this possible. I plan on using the SMSU database, MN databases, Education course materials, and personal experiences to write this proposal. I also will seek guidance from teachers and mentors of mine.
