Open Letter Assignment + Texts Posted

A handout on our upcoming Open Letter assignment has been posted to drop.io:

Click here to browse some three dozen articles now available for consideration as "supplementary" or "outside" texts in your Open Letter. Look for the "text" tag in the list of files at drop.io.

If you're interested, examples of letters (by Raul Moreno and Student Doe) have also been posted to drop.io. (These examples address an author rather than a member of government.)

Recall that your Open Letter can address a member of the Obama adminstration's Cabinet, a member of a U.S. Senate or U.S. House committee, or a leader in the Senate or House.

Update: Guidance on how to address those officials, both on your envelope and within your Open Letter, is offered by the Executive Secretariat of the National Institutes of Health.
