Writing a friendly Letter
HEADING: Includes the address and the date. In some cases, it is OK to just write the date.
GREETING: The greeting usually starts with 'Dear' and is followed the person's name and then a comma.
BODY: After skipping a line, you begin the body of your letter which is the main text of your letter. Indent for each new paragraph.
CLOSING: The closing includes a short capitalized expression such as 'Sincerely' or 'Love' and is followed by a comma. Skip a line after the body before writing your closing.
SIGNATURE: You sign your name beginning directly below the closing.
Sometimes you may add a POSTSCRIPT at the end of your letter. You write P.S., add a note and then end it with your initials.

Each week, we have a writing task. Look in the forum for the weekly assignment. Then, open a Word document and write your paragraph or letter. Then, ask a classmate to help you edit it. After that, ask me to look at it. After you edit your writing, go to the forum and reply with your writing by copy/pasting from Word. Save your writing under you name in the J drive.
