I hope you all had an enjoyable time meeting with Linda this morning. I am away from my desk at the moment, but I will put her information for you online later today.
Have a Voice: Write a Real Letter to the Editor
You expressed that you were unfamiliar with reading Letters to the Editor in English. The following are several newspapers that traditionally print Letters to the Editor.
Chicago Tribune: Letters to the Editor
L.A. Times: Letters to the the Editor
N.Y. Times: Letters to the Editor
Would you like more information on writing a Letter to the Editor? Here is a lovely page in which the United Nations Association of the United States of America teaches you how to write this type of letter.
Here is an article from a New York Times editor on how to be successful in writing a Letter to the Editor.
If you ever want to write a real Letter to the Editor, you are always welcome to bring your letter to class (or sent to me via e-mail) and I will be more than happy to proofread your work.
Find your cause. Find your voice. Take action.
