Writing Letters

This week's Wednesday Web is in response to one of the teachers inquiring about writing resources. If you happen to know of any please add them to the comment section so I can add them to the website!

Auspost.com
This is a site from Australia. The “New Letter Writing” link will allow students to input text into text fields and generate the letter for them. It may be a good way for them to see the different parts of business and personal letters, or a nice way to introduce it for younger students. It also contains background explanations and sample letters to get students started. Also within this site is a link for older students that provides additional websites to visit http://www.auspost.com.au/EDP/0,1398,CH3150%257EMO19,00.html
