I sent an email about this yesterday but there is currently a communication issue between berkeley.edu and yahoo.com. Those of you with yahoo mail have probably not received these tips. Please read them carefully and adjust your assignment accordingly.

Dear Students who went on the field trip today:

I've received many questions about your "assignment" to write a thank you letter to Henry. Let me explain more fully so you know what is expected of you. As you know, when someone does something nice for you, it's a good idea to thank them. Thank you notes are going out of style, but they are still welcomed and appreciated. I'd like each of you to write Henry a thank you note. Please do not follow regular "assignment" procedure on this. In other words, do NOT include a heading. You want Henry to feel that you genuinely want to thank him and would send him a note on your own even if I did not ask you to do it! I strongly encourage you to handwrite a short note on a notecard or piece of stationary. If you want to design a short note on your computer, that is fine too. This is not an essay, but a piece of mail! Remember to be specific about the tour. Tell him something your learned of what you liked most about the day. Be as specific as possible. Be sure to sign your name. You can sign off with words like, "Sincerely," "Warmly," "With thanks," etc.

Please bring your thank you notes tomorrow. If yours goes in its own envelope, do not seal the envelope.

See you soon,

Ms. Thomas
