Final Drafts of Service Day Letters - 9/17

Today,  we spent time writing our final drafts to a service member in the Sioux Falls Community, OR even in the USA.  Students were able to choose to send their letters to a police officer, fireman, soldier, or even a letter to the Argus Leader thanking all service members.

In doing so, students are showing me their ability to write a strong paragraph and include all of the basic components as I taught in class.  This includes a strong organization of ideas.  We also discussed word choices that add to the formal writing style.

Finally, we discussed how to write a formal letter before writing our final drafts today.  I can't wait to send all of the letters off to our service members!  They will be thankful for our kind, thoughtful words. Great work students.
