I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Someone a Letter
Do you save copies of the letters you write? The letters you receive? How would you feel if your old letters were resurrected and made public by a historian or archivist? Would we find they adhered to the conventions of letter writing? What purposes for your letters would we uncover?
Through the vast online resources available from EDSITEment, you and your students can read the correspondence of the famous, the infamous and the ordinary, some of whom lived through extraordinary times.
Use these fascinating letters as a starting point for discussion of and practice in the conventions and purposes of letter writing.
Primary sources are used as models to promote letter writing skills.
