First Lady Letter
Here is your chance to speak your mind and tell the current First Lady about an injustice,
problem, concern or idea that you have. After hearing about the letters written to Eleanor
Roosevelt during her years as First Lady, you are going to choose an issue that you are
concerned about and voice your opinion to Mrs. Michelle Obama.
In your letter you must address an issue with a detailed description. Describe how you
think the First Lady can make a difference. The letter should follow the formatting
guidelines on the back of this paper.
Your issue must be clearly stated and the letter should be typed. Grammar, punctuation
and spelling count. To apply the appropriate amount of effort to the assignment, the
letter itself (not including the greeting and ending) should be around a half page long.
(single spacing for correct letter format)
