Rec Letter

I was going to ask my AP Gov teacher for a rec letter but also I've had a class with her my 10th grade year. I was putting together a resume for her to refer to for my rec letter. Is it ok if she refers to activities outside of the classroom like FBLA in my rec letter and resume?

It's more than okay for her to talk about your extracurriculars outside of the classroom. In fact, it will look great for her to mention them! The best college recommendation letters are the ones where a teacher demonstrates that they know the student they are recommending well. The activities from your resume that she mentions will only help her write a strong letter that explains why you are a good applicant from multiple angles. Hope this helps!
