Letter+of+Introduction


 * Melissa Brown **
 * LETTER OF INTRODUCTION **

To help me get to know you better, please write a letter introducing yourself as a student at Arizona Schools for the Deaf. Discuss your strengths as a student as well as any unique qualities that may contribute to your success in this class. The letter may also warn about some qualities that might take longer for a new teacher to appreciate.
 * DUE Monday, August 18.**

This is no ordinary letter of introduction because you will write it from the point-of-view of another person. That means you will write about yourself in third person (he, she) instead of in first person (I, me).

You may begin your letter with “Dear Melissa Brown” and the date. Continue with a body of at least three-quarters of a page, and make sure to include your __full name__ (so I know whose letter it is) in the body of the letter. End with a closing and sign with the name of the person from whose point-of-view you are writing.

BE CREATIVE! BE RADICAL! BE BRILLIANT!! Your letter may be humorous or serious in tone.

GOOD LUCK

__**PARENTS’ HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT**__ As you probably read above, I am asking all students to write me a letter about themselves. It seems to me, you know them better than anyone. I would love to hear from you about your son or daughter. Please jot me a letter telling me anything you think is interesting or important about him/her that I should know. (Or would like to know.) You may also include things about yourself and the family. Does your child have any hobbies or interests? (Any art skills will be greatly appreciated since I lack them.) Being a parent of a young child, I know how busy you are. If you are unable to write a letter, please jot a quick note or even sign your child’s letter indicating that you did see the request. __ I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much!!!
