Today, Hunter and I read "To Be of Use" by Marge Piercy (poem), and "New Directions" by Maya Angelou (short story). We discussed the theme of employment, specifically comparing hard work versus lazy work, innovation, knowing customers, and making better life decisions. We compared both works of literature. We also began a study of business writing, first discussing the various types of business documents, and then focusing on the meeting agenda. After reviewing a sample, Hunter wrote his own meeting agenda for a Football Conference. We revised and edited the document together.
