<p>I am an international student and I want to help my teachers write their teacher recommendations in the best way possible. They haven't written one before for a past student going to the States. </p>
<p>Do you know of any legit links of tips that can help teachers write their recommendations? Plus any other material that is good for them to know about? </p>
<p>I have written a brief summary of what I enjoyed about their classes in a letter. Is there any other information I should give them, such as an activities resume or something? </p>
<p>I need both tips for me and for the teachers, in this situation. Any help is very much appreciated! </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Yes, I would give them an activities resume. </p>
<p>If they are snail mail letters - envelopes, with postage paid. Already addressed.
If not - info where to send.</p>
<p>Include list of schools and dates letters MUST be mailed, along with a date you are requesting they be mailed. </p>
<p>Write thank you notes when they are done. Handwritten.</p>
<p>If appropriate, after your acceptance, write a note letting them know where you are going, and maybe a small token of your appreciation.</p>
<p>Should the resume be about the activities i had the same year i had their class or can it be of my whole high school years? </p>
<p>Are there any good websites that can give them tips or any material online that could help them write their recommendation? </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>The resume should be in categories something like this.</p>
<p>Honors and Awards
School Activities
Community Involvement
Summer and Work Activities</p>
<p>I don’t know about the other - I would suggest a good old-fashioned google search.</p>
<p>Thank you, MaterMia :)</p>
