Projects

You now have an overview of professional writing and the different types of business letters. You will now go in depth into one of the business letter types with a final group project. Your letter type and partners will be determined by the colour of the answer sheet you received.



You are to use the business letter format, letter writing guide for your letter type and its sample as resources to create a how-to presentation. Your group will create a new sample of your letter type and use it to show the class how to write their own. Your presentation should be five minutes long and the speaking should be evenly divided between the group members. However, the method of the presentation is up to your group to decide. You can create a poster, powerpoint presentation, a song, poem, video or whatever you feel will best be able to show your classmates how to write your letter type. You have the remainder of the webquest class to work on it and all of the next class as well. Presentations will be the day after the work class. Each group's sample and the business letter format will be put into a book, so everyone has something to refer to when they need to write similar letters in the future.

Important notes
 * Be sure to include the overall purpose of the letter and the purpose or goal of each section of the letter as well.
 * Include any special formatting or considerations.
 * Be original - create your own scenario for your sample.
 * Remember this project may be for school, but the book you create will help you have success in the workplace.
