How to use:

I love having my students write letters to teach opinion writing. Students can write to sports teams, musicians, restaurants, famous people, etc to let them know why they are the best, something they disagree with, or something they want to change! This usually takes about 2-3 weeks for my upper elementary students to get through. At the end, we send out the letters and see if anyone writes back!
