Here are the teacher pack items for Writing a Formal Letter:
Overview In this experience, students brainstorm about letter writing. Then, they learn the difference between informal and formal (business) letters and study formal letter format. Next, they consider the purposes of the parts of a business letter, and they explain why business letter format is important. Finally, they write a letter requesting information and a letter responding to it. Students will collaborate in small groups for scene 4. Objectives Duration
When was the last time you got a letter in the mail? People used to get letters in the mail almost every day. That isn’t true anymore. People usually send messages by email or text. However, some kinds of letters are still sent on paper, by mail. In this experience, you will learn how to write and respond to formal letters.
Objectives
Brainstorm some ideas about the kinds of letters people write. You may use sentences or phrases.
Briefly discuss students’ responses. Typical letters that still arrive in the mail include wedding invitations, requests for donations, holiday greetings cards, political messages, and letters from grandparents.
