Letters

 

Introduction:  The only way to get better at anything is to practice.  Preferably, to practice with real people at the other end, not just your English teacher.

 

Everyone likes to get personal mail.  Therefore, we will start sending some.

 

Assignment:  Each Monday, you will come in with one, hand written, two page letter and an addressed envelope. 

 

The letter needs to use a standard heading.  Date and location are in the top right, salutation on the left. 

 

The envelope needs to have a real address on it-one that isnıt yours.  The return address will be

³Your name

c/o Mr. Barsanti

Pittsfield High School

300 East Street

Pittsfield, MA 01201²

 

Grading:  This is an homework assignment, due each Monday at the beginning of class.
