Due Friday, November 1, 2013 (FI#9 & Letter)

We will meet @ 10:00 on my class conference line. Dial in at 10:00am. Do NOT

go to St. Simon & Jude this Friday. 
No SS&J ~~~>

Essay Assignment:
Write a letter to a loved one, preferably to someone you care about greatly.
Choose someone who would especially appreciate a letter from you.
Suggestions in my classes include:
1) "My brother in Afghanistan"
2) "My Godparent in Ohio"
3) "My Grandmother"

• KWO first! Jot down reminders of what you want to share.
• Include RD and Checklist and KWO with finished essay/letter (PLEASE STAPLE THESE TOGETHER)
• Minimum 2 paragraphs
Include at least one of each dress-up and each opener (#2, #3, and #6)  in each paragraph. Start a new paragraph when you switch topics. Make sure each paragraph has at least 6 to 7 sentences minimum.

I will let you decide if you want to mail these letters after the essays (letters) are graded. I really hope you will save a copy without the bolding, underlining, etc., so that you can mail to your loved one. Better yet, hand-write the one you are actually going to send.
