Description
This bundle includes four different products sold separately in my store, all together for one low price! Begin with the Business Letter Writing Unit, with a full interactive PowerPoint that teaches formatting for business letters (you can teach Block and Mixed, and you can also teach Modified and Open if you desire--both are there). This unit also included an invaluable video that teaches the entire lecture on business letters for those pesky absent kids of it they just forget and need a reference. Included in this unit is also 21 letters that are prepared and ready to be typed up using proper format. But before you let them loose....
The Self Grading Business Letters...in Spreadsheets??? is a great way to help the kids assess themselves on what they know about writing business letters. Students format the letters in Excel or Google Sheets--which sounds odd but is fantastic because they get immediate feedback if they are doing their spacing, punctuation, and formatting correct. Instead of waiting a day or two to hear back from you, they know immediately what they need to fix. I found that once I started using this assignment, their number of errors on their first letters when down dramatically!
Students then work on typing up the letters in the business letter unit. They can do them all or only a few, depending on how much time you have and how well they are learning. Then they are ready for the the Complaint Letter Activity--a great way to see them APPLY business letter writing and to understand the value of it. And it's fun! Kids draw from an envelope the four parts of a complaint letter--Product, Problem, Consequence, and Action Requested. They construct a letter in proper format where they write a complaint letter about the things they drew. Problem is--they don't always match. You could get a Bobble-Head the smells bad, which caused your little brother to run away, and now you want $1,000 compensation. Or maybe...dance shoes that won't turn off, which caused you to go blind in one eye, and now you are filing a lawsuit. The fun never ends! I have often used this assignment as a quiz, to see if they truly are prepared before the test.
Before they take the test, spend some time with Corrected Letters. This includes 6 letters already written with errors that need to be found and fixed. It helps students see it from another angle, and it's interesting to see that even though they can write a letter well, they can't always point out what is wrong with one they see.
Finally they are ready, and the test is included in the original Business Letter Unit files. They've had plenty of practice--they'll do great!
