What all should I give someone writing a letter of recommendation?

Applying to College

<p>I am in the middle of compiling packets to give to people when I ask them to write my letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>For my English teacher, who I had sophomore year, I am including a resume, an explanation of all of my extra-curricular activities, a copy of an essay from the year I had her, a copy of an essay from junior year, a stamped and addressed envelope to the school for which she is recommending me, and a copy of the teacher evaluation sheet.</p>

<p>Should I include anything else to make her job easier?</p>

<p>Also, should the envelope I am giving the teacher to send everything in be a standard envelope or a business/document (manila) envelope?</p>

<p>That sounds like more than enough to me, but the best way to find out is to ask the teacher. Some teachers have different preferences.</p>

<p>^Agreed. Ask beforehand before you pile papers onto their desks!</p>

<p>My junior year english teacher wants all the necessary documents (envelopes, stamped and addressed, etc.) as well as completion of a worksheet that reminds her what I wrote in class (memoir, arugment essay, etc.) and a resume. My calculus teacher, on the other hand, doesn’t want anything other than those necessary documents.</p>
