Day two of Miss Walker´s voice loss... :(

Hello Year 8, 

This lesson we are going to look at how to write a letter, with a focus on the differences between formal and informal letters. Here is an example on an informal letter: 

 

TASK 1: Copy this template into your notebooks, then make your own template for a formal letter.

TASK 2: In pairs, imagine you have broken the law and are at risk of being sent to a YOI. Write a letter to your friend explaining:

- What you have done 

- How you´re feeling and why (nervous, scared)

- What you think of the YOI 

Remember to include the grammar we have looked at together and the vocabulary we learnt when we read the text.
-Conditionals (1st and 2nd)
-Interesting, varied connectives
-Present (simple and continuous) and past tenses. (and future tense too?)
-Informal language

TASK 3: Now highlight the informal phrases in your letter and rewrite your letter using only formal language.
