Formal Letter Writing

Project Title: Effective Written Communication

Driving question: How can we influence change?

Project Outline:

A student from your class has missed an entire year of school due to illness. Therefore, he or she knows nothing about how to write any type of formal letter or the various types of formal letters that we have covered. As a result, the class has been charged with the responsibility of creating an electronic library which consists of an eBook based on each type of formal letter. This electronic library will not just be shared with the student, but the wider student population and the world.
