Allow Me To Introduce Myself: Writing A Letter Of Introduction

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

"Who am I?" is not only a great philosophical question that requires a lot of reflection but is also at the heart of a letter of introduction. The challenge, of course, is figuring out where to start. Middle schoolers get a little help from a instructional activity that guides them through the process. Writers listen to a song, check out a list of possible topics, then draft and edit their letters.
