Try to put the following sentences into the correct order to make a letter. TIP 1: Read all of them before deciding. TIP 2: Look for connections between them.
We have learnt in the first activity of this module that the official birthday date of Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth is on
21st April and that she usually receives thousands of letters greeting her, especially from children across the world,
and we will do no less!
In this activity we will work in pairs to write her a birthday letter, following some easy guidelines and considering the
previous letter as an example. When finished, through a classroom vote, we will choose the most original letter, which
will be sent on behalf of the whole classroom so put the best of you when writing it!
The Royal family webpage provides us with some required information on how to do it. You can have a look at it, if you
wish.
We are given the possibility of writing her a formal or informal letter, thereforewe will choose the second type, as it it
simpler. Therefore, the following address will only be written in our envelope.
Her Majesty The Queen
Buckingham Palace
London SW1A 1AA
We will follow the pattern below:
As you can see, DATE, GREETING, BODY, CLOSING and SIGNATURES are the five parts which must appear in your letter.
Tips before writing:
1. The date must be the current one. The one showed is just an example. Mind the ordinal number!
2. In the section 'body' think what you would like to say or ask before writing. Brainstorm some ideas with your partner. This is the most important part.
3. Make simple sentences (likes, family, etc.) and remember to look for unknown words in the online dictionary (www.wordreference.com)
4. Everyone in the classroom will sign the chosen letter.
5. When you finish, don't forget to review spelling, grammar and punctuation.
6. Decorate your letters with nice drawings for Queen Elisabeth II. She will love them!
