Dear Mrs. Dennis:

I have always loved school and enjoyed learning. However, my brother who is two years younger, hates school. We come from the same home environment, and agree on many other things, so I’ve always wondered why we are so different when it comes to school, and if there is a way my brother could be made to like it.

I would like to research how we learn, and why learning is easier for some people than for others. I want to examine how the brain works and develops and why it develops at different rates for different people. I also want to know what part depends on nature and what part on nurture. I hope to also find out if there is something different that teachers could do to make students like my brother enjoy school. In my initial research, I found several books on brain research. I also discovered that EBSCO has many articles on teaching methods that may help. I plan on writing a research paper according to the standards. I understand that the paper needs to be 8-12 pages.

For my project, I plan on working with students at Grangeville Elementary Middle School. I have contacted a teacher there who has agreed to be my professional mentor. I will be responsible for teaching several 3rd graders. My mentor will help me come up with lesson plans to teach them CIM skills. I estimate that I will spend about 20 hours in the classroom, and another 20 hours planning projects and gathering materials.

Sincerely,

YOUR NAME HERE:

I have read the above Letter of Intent, and understand my student’s choice of research paper, topic, and project.
