In my region, there are three days left of school! In the midst of all of the planned activities, give your students one last writing assignment: a letter to a student who will be in your class next year…
Brainstorm together. What would they want to hear as an incoming student?
Try a three paragraph structure using topics such as these:
- Welcome to grade _____! My favourite part of grade ___ was….
- The best thing about (teacher name here) is…
- My advice to you in (teacher name here)’s class…
What might be a creative closing? How will they ensure a positive tone?
End your year with a meaningful, purposeful example of the power of writing. Words really do change worlds.
