HONY Response Letter

Pick a story and picture from the Humans of New York site. You can access it through their Facebook, Instagram or by going to http://www.humansofnewyork.com/

Once you have chosen your picture and story, take a screen shot and email it to Ms. Hall at turnintomshall@gmail.com. Put your name as the subject. This way I know which story you have chosen.

You will then write a friendly response letter to the story you have chosen. It needs to be one full page minimum. Today we will begin our rough drafts and work on this until a typed final is required to be turned in. 

Remember to start your letter with a greeting and sign your name at the bottom.

3/7 Business Letter Assignment

Use the drafting you have been doing the last few days to type up a rough draft of your Business Letter.

You need the correct formatting and header (on the first Business Letter post) and your letter needs to be at least one full page long.

When you are finished print it out. Your homework will be to have a parent/adult edit it. Bring it in on Wednesday with edit marks on your paper to receive credit!
