Assignment: Letter to your teachers – Due ______
Dear Mrs. Bell and Mr. Ameen:
In this first paragraph, you should introduce yourself. Tell us about who you are, about your family, where you are from, how long you have lived here. How do you feel about school? What kind of student and person are you? Tell us what you like about yourself.
The second paragraph should be about your interests: hobbies, sports, school activities, dreams, goals, places you’ve been or want to go, what you want to be “when you grow up.” We are also interested in how technologically savvy you are and if you keep up with current events in America.
Your third paragraph must address your reading skills and interests. Tell us about genres you like and dislike, your favorite book(s), what you’ve been reading recently, your pace (how fast) and skill level, strengths and weaknesses. We’d also like to know what role reading will have in your life and future.
The fourth paragraph must address your writing skills and interests. Tell us about genres you like and dislike when it comes to your own writing, what you have written that you are proud of, your pace and skill level, strengths and weaknesses (spelling, grammar, thesis writing, research, brainstorming, organizing…). We’d also like to know what role writing will have in your life and future.
Your last paragraph should be your closing. We would like to know your expectations for this class – what do you want to learn and accomplish? When you look back at the end of this year, what do you want to feel good about. Is there anything else you would like us to know about you?
Sincerely,
Your Name (make sure I can read it)
