WRITING

Let’s take a different approach this week and look at a specific form of writing.  I would like you to write a letter to yourself!  Look up a letter that is in two point punctuation form and create a letter which recaps your life for the past seven weeks or so (since March 16!)  You an send to your future address (so where you want to be in say 20 years) and highlight things happening in your world and also the entire world.  This will be a great keepsake to remember this extraordinary world event.
