Bite-Size Writing Assignment: Write a Letter

I refuse to believe that letter writing, with a pen and paper, is going to become a thing of the past. I know, I know, times are changing and we live in a world of technology -- iPads, iPhones, tablets, texting... However, who doesn't love to get a hand written letter in the mail? I know I do.

Try this for a school assignment for kids of all ages: Write a letter to a grandparent, a neighbor, or a friend.

Don't forget to remind your students to translate "chat language" into plain English, especially if the recipient of the letter is older than, say, forty. (lol)
