Let's give thanks

Thanksgiving is at the end of this week.  We would like for you to write a thank you letter in paragraph form.  Monday, you will write the rough draft and hand it in.  Tuesday you will write your final draft.  On Wednesday, we will hand back to you your final printed copy for you to deliver to a person of your choosing.

Maybe there is a teacher who has gone above and beyond for you this year or any year in the past and you'd really like to thank them.  Maybe it's someone else in this school building, who fills another role who you'd like to thank.  Maybe you'll write to your coach.  Maybe you'll write to a best friend or a family member.

Thank you notes are a rare, but powerful thing.  There is no better gift that you can give to someone you care about.

The final draft of this assignment may be typed OR handwritten neatly and handed in on Tuesday.  You may include pictures or clip art on your note.  This assignment is worth 20 points.
