what are we learning to do?

• We are learning to write a formal letter

I can....

• write the conventions of a formal letter in the correct place (e.g. address, date etcetera).
• start a formal letter by addressing the recipient and stating the purpose of writing. 
• end a formal letter by asking a question or stating what I expect to happen.
• write in a formal manner (e.g. correct tone, grammar, vocabulary etcetera).

What is a formal letter?

To who do you write a formal letter?

1. A friend
2. Interviewer for a job

In groups of 4

You will read 2 formal letters and have to discuss the following:

• Which letter, A or B,  is the best (most formal) and why?

Finished? go to Padlet and post as a group:

- Which letter (A or B) you think is the best. 

- explain why it is the best letter by writing at least 2 arguments.

What I look for:

• You use the layout conventions correctly in your formal letter (e.g. address, date etc)
• You start the formal letter by greeting the recipient in a formal manner.
• You start the formal letter by stating the purpose of writing.
• You present yourself in the formal letter (e.g. experiences and skills)
• You end the letter by asking a question or stating what you expect of the recipient.
• Your overall tone in the letter is formal.
• Your use of grammar and vocabulary is correct

Think

Individually

• look at the badly written formal letter and answer the following questions for yourself:
  - What can’t be checked off while looking at the WILF?
  - What can the writer improve to have everything that is on the WILF?

In groups of 4

Discuss your previous answers and come up with one final answer to the questions:

- What can’t be checked off while looking at the WILF?

- What can the writer improve to have everything that is on the WILF?

Share your answers a s a group on padlet

In pairs

Exchange your formal letter with a fellow classmate and read eachother's letter. 

- Use the peer feedback form (handout) for your classmate

Look at your feedback and improve your letter!!
