Problem Description:
The task involves sorting letters into two categories:
1.
Letters in my name: These are the letters that appear in the name "James."
2.
Letters NOT in my name: These are the letters that do not appear in the name "James."
The image shows a worksheet with the name "James" at the top and two columns for sorting letters. The goal is to correctly place each letter into the appropriate column.

Solution Approach:
1.
Identify the Letters in the Name "James":
- The name "James" contains the following unique letters:
J, a, m, e, s.
- Note that the lowercase version of each letter should also be considered (e.g., "J" and "j" are the same letter).
2.
Sort the Letters:
- Place all letters that appear in "James" in the left column labeled "Letters in my name."
- Place all letters that do not appear in "James" in the right column labeled "Letters NOT in my name."
3.
Check Each Letter:
- Compare each letter in the provided set to the letters in "James."
- If a letter matches any letter in "James," place it in the left column.
- If a letter does not match any letter in "James," place it in the right column.

Step-by-Step Sorting:
#### Letters Provided:
The letters shown in the image are:
- Left column (partially filled):
J, a, e, m, s
- Right column (scattered):
d, x, p, c, b, q, k, M, f, r, l, o, t
#### Sorting Process:
1.
Letters in "James":
-
J, a, m, e, s are already in the left column. These are correct.
- Check the scattered letters:
-
M: This is the uppercase version of "m," so it belongs in the left column.
-
o: Not in "James," so it goes in the right column.
-
t: Not in "James," so it goes in the right column.
-
f, r, l, d, x, p, c, b, q, k: None of these are in "James," so they go in the right column.
2.
Final Placement:
-
Left Column (Letters in my name): J, a, m, e, s, M
-
Right Column (Letters NOT in my name): d, x, p, c, b, q, k, f, r, l, o, t
---
Final Answer:
The sorted letters are:
-
Letters in my name: J, a, m, e, s, M
-
Letters NOT in my name: d, x, p, c, b, q, k, f, r, l, o, t
\boxed{
\text{Letters in my name: J, a, m, e, s, M}
}
\boxed{
\text{Letters NOT in my name: d, x, p, c, b, q, k, f, r, l, o, t}
}
