Description
In this ReadWriteThink lesson, students research a local issue using Internet and print sources. They then argue a position on this issue by writing letters to two different audiences, addressing their own purpose and considering the needs of the audience in each letter. Students then draft and revise their letters before sending them to their intended readers.
