BLOCK 1 /2 Only!
Imagine if you lived during the American Revolution. You may be a Patriot soldier, a British RedCoat, a wife of a soldier or a son. You may be pro-war or against it. No matter who you are the war affects you.
For our next writing assignment you will put yourself in the shoes of a person who may have lived through the American REvolution. This letter will be historical fiction. You will write a letter home. Your letter may be to a spouse or a parent. It could also be to a friend.
Before you write this letter you need to think about the art of letter writing. In this blog post, tell me and your peers why letter writing was so crucial and why it was often so emotional. Aim for 3-4 sentences in length.
As always, happy blogging and make sure you blog before school begins Friday morning.
