Description
In this lesson, from ReadWriteThink, students discuss literature through a series of letter exchanges. Exchanged letters can take the form of handwritten letters, typed letters, electronic documents, e-mail, online discussion posts, and even Weblog posts. Students explore others' ideas along with their own as they exchange letters about different literary works. Examples and guidelines are offered to help teachers structure multiple types of groups. Multiple forms of media are available for the letter exchanges. Less
