Also, folktales frequently involve the number 3. Look for examples of these elements as you read the story.This story is most likely set in the southwestern United States. The non-English words used are Spanish. A large percentage of people in this area speak Spanish because it is so close to Mexico.

WritingPersonal Letters via E-Mail day 1

This week we will be writing personal letter to send via e-mail. How often do you use letters to communicate with friends, family, and acquaintances.

What is your purpose when you write a personal or friendly letter?

Do you prefer to send your letters by mail or use e-mail? Why?

A personal letter is an informal letter written to a friend, a relative, or a pen pal. The tone is much more casual and conversational than a business letter, although friendly letters should still be polite and well written.

Salutation – use the word Dear followed by the person’s name and a comma.

Body – This is the message part of the letter that starts two lines below the salutation. Indent the first word in each paragraph on the body.

Closing – Yours truly and Sincerely are commonly used for a closing. The closing goes two lines below the body. Capitalize the first word, and use a comma at the end of the closing.

Signature –This is where you type your name.

Type this letter on a word document fist. You can save it and make corrections.
