opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's

issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

 Dear
People of the Great State of Illinois,
Hello!
I am a third-grade student in Northern Virginia.
Our class is learning about the United States, and I will be
teaching our school about the state of Illinois. In May, I will
create a display for our State Fair that I hope will make you proud.
Although I have gathered facts about your state from books and
websites, I think that I can receive the best information from the
people who live there. This is why I am writing to you. I am hoping
that you would be willing to send me some items to help me learn
more about the best things in your state. You might consider sending
items such as postcards, pictures, souvenirs, this newspaper
article, or any other unique items that would be useful or show your
state's pride.
Here are a few questions:
• Why do you live in your state?/What first brought your family
there?
• How do you make money?/What is your job?
• What does your state look like?
• What do people do for fun?
• What animals live there?
• What traditional food/recipes does your state have?
[to top of second column in this letter] |
• What type of music is native to your state?
• Do you have a state athletic team?
• What geographic features are unique to your state?
I will need to gather all of my information by the second week of
May.
You can mail items to the address below. I really
appreciate your help!
Sincerely,
Hylah
Miss Campbell's Class
