Letter Writing


http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/letter_generator/



Students need to know how to write a letter properly...and everyone loves to receive mail, so using the letter generator kills many birds with one stone.

Have your students brain storm and write letters on subject matter you are studying. They could write to the different restaurants in your area and ask about the nutritious values that may be on their menu. We always invite the many experts we write to, to visit our school as a guest speaker. Then we use our "meet and greet skills" with a welcoming committee when our guest comes.

Students can write to agricultural companies, like Monsanto, inquire about their innovative methods to produce crops, ask about environmental aspects related to their company, and job related questions.

Print the letter and send it when they're done.
