You and a partner are to complete the following activity.

What you have to do:

• Write a letter to the Governor or another state official.
• Tell them about yourselves and ask them questions about them, their jobs, and their background.
• Ask them any other questions that you might have.
• Use proper letter writing techniques.
• Address an envelope and have it ready to be mailed.
• Chose one of you to read the letter to the class.

Grading Criteria:

This assignment is worth 25 points.  Here is how the points will be awarded.

• 5pts to properly address the envelope.  Check with your teacher if you need an example of how a properly addressed business envelope should look.
• 5pts to label the letter properly.  The letter should look professional when you are completed with it.
• 10pts for the body of the letter.  This should include your information and the questions that you have for the state official.
• 5pts to share your letter with your classmates.

    Make sure you do a good job on this assignment.  I will mail these letters to the state officials, and we will look for responses from them.  You do not, however, want to send them letters that look un-professional.  Make your class and school look very respectable.
