DescriptionPen and Paper Method

1. This assignment teaches the students the appropriate method of accepting or rejecting an offer.

2. To do this, prepare a job offer for the class. Discuss how someone being offered a job over the phone should go about accepting or rejecting it.

3. Then, using the blackboard, have the class create a follow-up letter of acceptance and a follow-up letter of rejection. Two blackline masters entitled, Example Acceptance of Offer and Example Rejection of Offer, have been included along with a checklist of the elements that should be included in accepting or rejecting an offer. This may be found in the evaluation section.

4. Have the students find job ads that state the wage/salary, duties, and education requirements. Pretending that they were offered the position, the students will use this information to write their own letters of acceptance and rejection.

5. In partnership, they will also role-play the phone offer.

1. Discussion strategies
2. Co-operative learning

4. Speaking strategies

Materials Needed
