Persuasive Business Letter Project

Okay, we are working on our Persusasive Business Letters in class on social issues going on in our local communities, our states, and across the nation. Students picked their own topics to debate about in class to our official "congress" and convince them of their various views. For extra credit, students must dress up in nice clothing (business/professional/church attire: Men should wear a nice tie and slacks, and ladies were a nice outfit of slacks, skirt, or even dress).

Students may need help researching their topics at home and the essay is due on March 20, 2013. It will be written in a bussiness letter format and it only needs to be 1-2 pages at the most.

Here is the address for their business letter.

Attn: Office of the Clerk
U.S. House of Representatives
U.S. Capitol, Room H154
Washington, DC 20515

If students really want to be involved in local and national legislature, they can really send their letters to the appropriate representatives and see if they can elicit a response! It would be awesome to see the outcome.

Remember, if your child needs extra help, feel free to have them stay after school. I am here until 4:00 unless stated otherwise. Also, please make sure they ask in advance and have a way home. Thanks!!
