1. Begin work on a rough draft of an email letter to Summer Vacation. Remember
that this letter uses the technique of personification. Your letter should be
at least three paragraphs. The first should reminisce about one or two
interesting events this summer. The next paragraph should recount how
you are feeling about entering the new school year and some expectations/goals
you have, and the final paragraph should briefly close the letter with
statements that indicate you will be looking forward to catching up again at
the end of this school year. MAKE SURE THAT YOU SIGN YOUR FULL NAME AT THE
END OF THE LETTER.
2. The final draft will be due on Monday, Sept. 8, on either the form you
have downloaded from this photos/doc site or were given in class. Final drafts
must be word processed/typed or written in blue or black ink. Neatness always
counts!
3. Finally, remember that this assignment must be between 200-250 words. Use
the TOOLS menu to highlight word count to see how many words you have written.
