Letter writing is an exercise in thoughtfulness, storytelling, and critical thinking. The form of communication builds writing, thinking, and communication skills.  The art of letter writing is not lost, but still enjoyed by those with the desire to communicate more meaningfully with friends and loved ones in a "blurb" world. Students will learn about letters and participate in writing them for class.

In this class we will study:
Unit 1: What exactly is a letter—We will study the written form of personal communication and what it is that makes a letter a letter.
Unit 2: The History of letters—We will study examples of personal letters throughout history from the famous and not so famous.
Unit 3: Writing graceful letters to strangers—We will examine the various forms of letters that are often written to total strangers out of need or curiosity (inquiries, introduction, business proposals) and write a practice letter. 
Unit 4: Writing colorful letters to those we care about—Receiving a well-written letter from someone we love is a delight. Even more delightful is to write such a letter. In this section students will learn how to write such a letter.
Unit 5: Students will demonstrate what they have learned by sharing a letter they have written for the class.

教師檔案
教師專業知識和證書
Receiving a master’s degree in English from BYU with an emphasis in creative writing was the beginning of a lifelong love affair with all things creative: novels, plays, movies, painting, music, dance, origami, cosplay, juggling, computer games, DnD . . . the list goes on. 

On the STEM side of life I spent eight years in the United States Air Force as a radar technician. Working with the highly mobile radar of a forward air control post I traveled the world in C-130s, was buzzed by A-10s, and became proficient with various weaponry. Since the third grade I have been a student of the history of military aircraft, especially World War II.

As a published author of many short stories and four young adult novels I’m ready to help students create with the written word. In creative writing I teach the power of the word, the beauty of the sentence, the joy of the completed story. As a university instructor in critical reading/writing, I learned that a good author won’t tell you anything. A good author wants to see what you see after you read his/her book. We will learn how to know what we see and how to talk and write about it.

As a dad I homeschooled all eight of my children to support positive, independent thinking. I kept reading with my children long after they could read for themselves—until they left for college. I advocate reading and writing with classroom presentations and programs. I’ve been mentoring youth writers in the Juab Jotters writing group for several years.

When I’m not teaching you will find me pursuing my own never ending education, playing computer games with my children (great family time), cosplaying (last year it was Mystery Men), and spending time with my children and grandchildren (soon to be six).
