Students were required to write a business letter to the school board proposing a change/improvement in school policy. Letters were to be professional, persuasive and written in proper business letter format. This lesson promotes real world business letter writing, focuses on audience and purpose and is a good opportunity for the students to have a voice and appropriately express their opinions on important, relevant issues. Below are some really great examples of proper formatting and persuasive writing!
