Finalizing Our Letters About Literature

In order to mail our submission off to the contest on Friday, you need to do a few things to your final drafts of your Letters About Literature.
1. First go through and clear up the few (if any) punctuation/spelling/grammar errors I may have noted in red pen on your FD.
2. Get rid of any/all heading notions (dates/draft label/class name/numbers on lines/ etc.) and replace it with the following information, single-spaced, in the upper right hand corner of your paper:

YOUR NAME
Seattle Girls' School
2706 S. Jackson Street
Seattle, Washington 98144

3. Single space your letter

4. Be sure your letter has a closing salutation (Yours truly...BUT SOMETHING MORE ORIGINAL) and then your name, with a place for you to sign as well. Just end your letter as you would a business letter.

5. BRING ALL THIS TO CLASS WITH YOU ON FRIDAY.

6. In class, we'll complete the required "coupon" - and attach it to your letter for mailing. I'll have a copy of this coupon for you, don't worry!!

7. Finally, try to find a mailing address for your author, should he or she be alive. Another part of this project involves directly mailing your letter to your author. It may not win us the $10,000 but it will make your author(s) happy to receive such a letter!

Again...we'll be mailing these letters off together on Friday, so come to class prepared. You may want to make sure that you have ready access to your letter, so be sure to email a copy of it to yourself if you've been primarily working on it at home!
