ReadWriteThink: Letters to the Editor (and a Bonus Floral Surprise)

Finished writing and published Persuading an Audience: Writing Effective Letters to the Editor, a basic 9-12 lesson plan. It links to the 18th List of Ten: Ten Persuasive Prompts: Persuasive-Descriptive.

I’m creating an alternate version that has students adopt a persona from a book they’ve read and write a letter to the editor from that character’s point of view.

Mom sent me flowers for Valentine’s Day, with a little stuffed dog and a heart-shaped box of chocolates. :) It was a nice surprise when I arrived at work. Especially today.
