REMEMBER

• Write a letter to someone you love or someone who is special to you.

• Your letter must be to a real person.

Be sure to use a proper letter writing format. Please check the guidelines below for help.

Banned Words & contractions are allowed

Personal letters, also known as friendly letters, and social notes normally have five parts.

1. The Heading This is where you write the date. In a more formal letter, it may  include your return address.

Skip a line after the heading. 

2. The Greeting The greeting always ends with a comma. 

Dear Uncle David,

3. The body  Also known as the main text. 
This includes the message you want to write. 

The beginning of paragraphs is indented. 

If it is not indented, be sure to skip a space between paragraphs. 

Skip a line after the greeting. AND Skip a line before the close.

4. The complimentary close  This short expression is always a few words on a single line. It ends in a comma.  Skip one to three spaces (two is usual) for the signature line.

5. The signature line  Type or print your name. 

6. Postscript   Although there is no postscript in our example above, it is quite common.
If your letter contains a postscript, begin it with P.S.
Skip a line after the signature line to begin the postscript.

Due November 6 (Brainstorming/KWO -- Jabberwocky)

Jabberwocky  1871

by LEWIS CARROLL    (Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)      born: January 27, 1832 - died: January 14, 1898

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought--

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

One two! One two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

Ready to go down the rabbit hole?
To go down the rabbit hole: To begin a process or journey that is particularly
complex, sometimes even strange or chaotic, especially one that becomes
increasingly so as it develops or unfolds. 
"Down the rabbit hole" is a metaphor for an entry into the unknown.
On the internet, a rabbit hole frequently refers to an extremely engrossing
and potentially time consuming journey into the world wide web of “infinite” information. 
(An allusion to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.)
