I am an 8th grade student in the US Each student in my Social Studies class is writing a series of “children’s books” for another school and we decided to practice writing one on our current unit the “War of 1812 – Star Spangled Banner.” We wanted to tell how our flag became an important symbol because of this War and give the background information on the origins of the Star Spangled Banner. I was wondering if you would like to buddy up with me and let me send you the book in exchange for some written or audio constructive criticism by the students who read them. It would be easy to incorporate into your class. The book is all about twenty pages. Each page consists of a picture and 1-3 sentences. I have been looking for a teacher for a while now and so far, no one has responded to me. If it is okay with you, do you know a teacher who would be interested in giving my book to some students to edit it? You can e-mail me back at this e-mail and I would send the book through the mail. What I would want to know is, is the book interesting, is the language okay, etc… I’m looking for more “editors” not “critics.” Just a few quick comments are fine. If you decide to participate, I would need the schools address and the zip code of you place to send the book to you. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and I hope you would like to participate in our fun interaction program. I hope to hear from you soon!
