Activity Summary:

Headphones, Inc., letterhead to encourage thinking of the company as real.

Instructions:

Students find it difficult to imagine the company in the 302 Message Packet as “real.” It exists without a logo, advertising tag, or any of the other accoutrements that a business would include. I encourage students to create their own letterhead, but invariably there are those who “would prefer not to.”

In response I created the attached template. It includes two copies of letterhead, one email, and two memos for the 2016 version of the course. It’s ugly, and I know it. But having it available saves some stress for students and keeps them from falling victim to the Internet’s pretty but impractical templates.
