Great Opportunity to Enter a Contest and to Earn Extra Credit

The Letters About Literature Contest is sponsored by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress
in partnership with Target.  If you decide to write and enter a letter, you could show it to me for possible extra credit.

Yours would be a letter written from you to a very favorite author -- living or dead.  See the instructions at the links below for more details. 

There is also a prompt for writing the letters on MyAccess:
Letters About Literature    (The links on the prompt are outdated.)

Here are links to use to learn more about the contest:

At this site they give you lots of great instruction for successfully writing a letter to an author.
