Learn & Create: How to Write a Heartfelt Thank You Note

Thank you notes seem to be a lost art, as texting, phone calls, and email have taken the steering wheel in today's society.  During this class, students will learn the importance of writing a thank you note, and we will discuss the following prior to developing personal handwritten thank you letters.
*When should you write one? When is just saying "Thank you" maybe not enough?
*Why should you write one?  
*What should be included in your thank you?
*How will the other person feel?  How will I feel?
*How should I deliver my thank you note?
*What will happen after the person receives my thank you letter?

After the discussion, I will guide students through the specific structure of a thank you letter.  They will need to have a specific person in mind before class begins, as they will be writing this person a thank you note during our time together.  At the end, students will have the opportunity to share their notes with their peers and/or add any special personalized touches, such as doodles on the envelop or border of their letter.
