How to Write a Letter: Lesson Plan
In this lesson plan, students learn:
- The tone and style of business letters.
- The format of business letters.
- How to create letterhead.
- How to proof and print their letters on personal letterhead.
This lesson is a great way to incorporate social entrepreneurship (read the post I wrote on Edutopia about this). Students can write letters to real people based upon needs. For example, two of my students created letters to the mayor of Atlanta about the situation of the homeless in certain parts of Atlanta. (This says a lot since these kids live 3 1/2 hours away but take time to volunteer and work in the neighborhoods at question.)
I believe that we should all be using graphics to teach. Canva is a great way to do that.
Totally awesome!
You helped me so much
