Reflection
In correlation with this lesson plan, I will show that I can communicate with writing by sharing examples of letters I've written in the past. I will use both letters and e-mails to show the differences between formal and informal written communications. I will also share the final product of a project I created in college called The Letter Project (see below), where I contacted a lot of people via e-mail (I know that's ironic but it was for sake of time) asking them to write a letter to anyone in the world, dead or alive, and to send me the completed version. 38 people participated, and I compiled everything into a handmade book.
In the future I hope to actually use this lesson plan guide because I was pleased with how it turned out, it covers multiple language arts concepts, and it's a more focused, assessable version of what I devised back in college. In order to successfully complete the assignment, the students need to make connections between text they read and/or hear me read aloud with the letter-writing aspect of the unit. I think it’s important that students continue to learn the proper way to communicate with people using the appropriate letter format, while also remembering the importance of using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
I could also see designing a similar lesson plan for older students if doing a unit on epistolary novels.
