Univseral Letter Writing Week January 8-14, 2009
Universal Letter Writing Week begins tomorrow. Sometimes writing letters can help students get over the "resistant to writing" hurdle because it has a purpose. Though I grew up writing letters to friends and family (in fact I still have a box of letters from college), we are doing more texting and emailing these days. Perhaps letter writing is evolving. In any case, written communication is still an important way for us to tell our stories and express our interests and concerns. Throughout the week, I'll post links that might be helpful in getting started on that letter writing project.

Natalie,
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you're posting about letter writing week! I maintain a letter writing web site and get really excited when I run across other people trying to keep the art alive.
Keep up the great work!
